While its an avenue, they can only pass 3, its not veto proof, and reconciliation bills must be budget oriented bills. My simple point is, left leaning voters (moreso than the right) have this nasty habit of hyping themselves into doom if Dems cant magically move a mountain. Feeding into the other problem of apathy to not vote, to then turnaround to complain why Dems cant pass something. Even when they miraculously get something across the finish line despite all the odds, we have those who have a habit of rallying on "its not good enough so it mind as well be nothing.

I shit on the old-guard Dems who keep fucking letting us down and praise the new guard trying to do something. As opposed to half of you that want to pretend everything is ok and we should never criticize Democrats. Some of you can not see the bigger picture.Even if we win what next? We have to figure out how to keep winning and drag the country back left. Republicans are going to ensure any Dem is a one term lame duck Pres that everyone can point and blame for all their misfortunes. Biden was unfairly blamed for literally everything.

If they managed to win the Senate, they might be able to block any new SCOTUS appointments that may open up. Trumps control over the Executive Branch would continue. Their best shot at stopping Trumps ICE would be in blocking new funding for it, but there are ways hed be able to work around it by reapportioning some funds on an emergency basis. Point is, dont expect they will be able to stop him entirely. Slow him down somewhat, absolutely, but not stop him. They certainly wont be able to remove him.

No one is saying everything is sunshine and happy rainbows if Dems win seats. Just be realistic on what Democrats can actually do if they dont have a veto proof majority. That and for once, acknowledge/rally-on steps in the right direction (the constant, nothing is ever good enough so its nothing messaging.) We need more than just a simple majority, and on top of this it has to be maintained. Both are things the doom vanguards fail to understand in their constant need to assist the GOP. <cite>asdf8562 posted [p:986193683] in If Dems wi...

We saw Democrats vote for impeachment to only fall flat when republicans voted against removal from office. Yet it's somehow democrats fault. People really need to pay more attention to which party is voting for what. It's ridiculously that people would still rather keep republicans in power to greenlit everything Trump wants to do just because they don't like a few democrats. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:986193929] in If Dems wi...
