The main way they won’t pass anything is by not having a president who will sign their bills into law, Bae. Elections matter.

MODERATORS
Presidental Veto.
They wouldn’t be able to unless they got a supermajority, cause Trump would still have the veto
If there is an election are you ready for the hand wringing?
the senate could be 98 Dems to 2 Republicans and the Dems would still go "they're not letting us pass anything that would help you 🤷"
AOC wouldn't mock that guy for being too stupid to understand what a veto is :(
In fairness, the Dems wouldn't even try it
still no backbone, probably
They need 2/3rds to override a Veto. In opposition it's going to be much more about putting the brakes on Trump. Anyone publicly expecting forward movement on progressive goals without a progressive president is not speaking in good faith.
Woah what a productive and useful take to have. Thank you!
Can't wait to see how they fail to do absolutely anything other than help the so-called opposite side.
