It’ll be a miracle if they do any of it
I’m looing forward to the excuses again.
We didn’t have a super majority so we couldn’t even try.
Well we can’t upset the Senate norms.
What would happen if we did that and Republicans took back control?
Fetterman is an important and vital Democrat.
Start with three big challenges. First, a lot of those who voted for Democrats are expecting action to improve their economic conditions: Run on affordability, you better improve affordability. Second, and related, with Democrats holding a sizable piece of power in Washington, the failures of policy driven by the reckless Trump and his administration could be blamed on them—and it is a sure thing that hundreds of millions will be spent by Trump allies to try to pin the problems on the Democrats. Americans already think Washington isn’t working; if it looks like Democrats are a part of the problem and not of the solution, that could have brutal consequences in 2028.
Third, it is clear that the Democratic Party base wants toughness and serious pushback against the corruption, misconduct, and mayhem that are the core of Trump’s presidency. Witness the negative reaction to the private meeting between House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner, looking for areas of possible common ground after January 3. Rank-and-file Democrats want pushback, not compromise. Of course, compromise will be necessary to meet the first challenge of improving people’s economic circumstances. But if it is not led by Democrats using every tool at their disposal to name names, kick ass, and stop further destruction, there will be hell to pay with the base.
TLDR:
Don’t be a neoliberal…
It’s literally that easy, and considering the voting members of the DNC pivoted 20 months ago, there’s no reason to assume incoming dem leadership will be the same shitty neoliberals as this current Congress.
Nothing about ending the war in Iran and stop the genocide in gaza
…more of a “things the rich can pay us to NOT do”, and they’ll all become more corrupt along the way.
“We really tried on this, but even later on when we held the House, Senate, and Presidency, we still just couldn’t get it done.” -Democrats pretending to be incapable (when they’re paid to be that way).
It’s all money. The government is a pay for play business for wealthy companies and people.
