      And what did you want her to tell people to march to the capitol and hang the vice president being willing to certify the election?

      Nah, Americans voted for Trump and his fascism, his racism so let them have it.

      We can still try to obstruct via filibuster and other mechanisms. (Republicans have already shown us how to do it effectively.) But certainly no progress can be made for the next four years.

        As if Republicans won’t eliminate the filibuster. They have no use for it because they don’t plan on being in the minority ever again.

          You’re putting far too much faith in the voters at this point.

          Depending on how the cost of living situation goes, Trump is either going to take credit for improvements set in motion before his 2024 term, or he’s going to astronomically tank it and blame it on the previous administration. No matter which happens, he will frame it to make himself look better than the Democrats while the MAGA crowd eats it up.

            People’s feelings about the economy is the number 1 indicator of whether a party will be voted out of office.

            If Trump goes through with his insane tarrifs, inflation will skyrocket, people will be livid over the economy, and the Republicans in the Senate will be in real trouble.
