    If we want that then it’s not enough to just get Harris into office. We’ve got to win Congress. And we’ve got to win enough of the Senate that any would-be Manchins can’t stop everything. That’s the only way to pass meaningful legislation.

      Yes, that’s why it needs to be a landslide, we need enough political power to actually enact change.

        I just want to make sure the people in the back are aware of this too, because I’ve heard lots of people complain that the Dems didn’t do things in the past four years that they would need real control to do

          Definitely, my hope is that if that doesn’t happen this time, the momentum will carry forward to the next election as well and the electorate will see that the Dems can actually make life better for people. But it’s a dream, I know that.

            I have a feeling that certain wanna-be John Galts that have just enough power would do things to make people miserable enough to blame their experiences on Democratic policies.

            Can’t have the threat of a good example.

            It’s impossible to know, but I suspect some are trolls and bots, and some aren’t.

              It’s pretty easy to tell a troll though, look at their post history. They all do the same things.

      I’m prepared to be surprised. This ticket is a godsend for down ticket Democrats.
