This is all well and good, but I doubt they’ll get anything past Trump.

It’s just gridlock for the next two years.

    I see them having lots of gridlock. Trump will veto everything they put forward and they don’t have the supermajority to override his vetos.

      The democrats are just as much capitalists as the republicans. They wont raise taxes for the rich. If the US wants anything to change they gotta break out of the 2 party system.

        That would require a major overhaul of the constitution and that requires a supermajority in congress and the states. I wouldn’t hold my breath on that.

    Or we could do those, release the files, start the trials, impeach the cabinet, expand SCOTUS, and kill the electoral college. Then start another list for week 2.

    About time the Dems should put in place more militant leadership instead of those two dimwits pandering to corpos and giving AIPAC the velvet glove treatment.

    Just pass Medicare for All legislation and call it the Trump Saves America Act and the idiot won’t be able to resist signing it no matter what is in it. Just give every bill a name that will appeal to our naked emperor. It’s not like he actually reads any of the bills he signs.

    Love how the AP just pretends Hakeem Jeffries speaks for the Democratic party at this point without even questioning it a little bit

    So prosecuting corrupt officials and eliminating the electoral college are what? Second? Just more of the same bullshit (I hope I am wrong, but I have seen the Democrats go from “radical change” to “now is not the time for radical change” too many times).

    Whoa what monumental goals! Restoring tax credits for healthcare to what they were a couple of years ago when healthcare was equally expensive and ending a war that’s comprised of two sides occasionally lobbing bombs at one another every few weeks.

    Nevermind all the corruption and crime coming out of the white house or all those people being illegally rounded up and locked in cages for being brown. Let’s ignore the epstein files too. Let’s also ignore the warrantless surveillance being conducted by Flock and Axon along with all the AI data centers going up along with them that siphon all our energy reserves away. Nope! Renewing tax credits to funnel tax dollars toward the medical industry is definitely our most pressing issue.

    If they can send legislation which is popular to Trump for him to veto it, that sets the stage for a democratic president in 2 years to pass it then.

    First thing the Dems need to do is bring in new leadership for House and Senate.

    Hakeem and Chuck have long outlived their usefulness and will do more harm than good when it comes to pushing for what needs to be done in the future.
