    Democrat should do what Republicans have done for the last four years and make sure absolutely fucking nothing happens in government. Then, four years from now, run a presidential campaign on how ineffective Trump was.

    It worked for the Republicans this year, why not the Democrats in four?

      Well it seems to be that the Democrats are pro-institution and are fine with most of what the Republicans do.

      4 years of absolutely nothing would be a godsend for Trump. If he got nothing done in 4 years he would be looking at a minimum of 2 years of a good stock market from the economic tailwind of Biden policies that two more years of stagnation wouldn’t erase. You would then be looking at president Vance with an election that makes this look like minor leagues.

      Not to mention, Trump voters aren’t going to hold him accountable regardless.

      If you want anyone left of MAGA to care, you’d be hoping he gets his stuff passed so people can see what they voted for.

      It worked for Republicans because Democrats are ineffective at governing. That’s just a fact, and it remains a fact even when they have the majorities they need (or don’t need them). It’s just how centrists are. Republicans, for all their flaws, know what they want to do and will do anything to achieve it.

        Name one time since Bill Clinton they didn’t face 60 vote hurdle in the Senate placed there by the GOP.

          Obama’s first term? And in the first place why the fuck do they keep the filibuster when it keeps getting used against them? That alone is ineffective governing. Also they’re ineffective even in the executive branch so it’s obviously not about the filibuster.

            It’s so ridiculous that those lazy sons of bitches changed the laws so that they don’t even have to filibuster, they just have to announce that they plan to and it’s considered a filibuster.

            Idk I guess it’s crazy that all it takes is 1 or 2 senators to block everything. Really, we should get rid of the senate.
