    Manage ones expectations. Many Dems are still bought and owned.

    Many Dems voted for the big beautiful bill. Many voted yes to Trump’s cabinet picks.

    We can’t assume having more Dems will actually change anything. Especially since Jeffries and shumer, also bought and owned, literally work against the people.

    Manage expectations or be sorely disappointed in the next two years.

    Until we get an unbought-president and majority unbought-Dems in Congress, we won’t see any improvements.

    We can only hope for a slow down of the decline. Not a halt.

    I’d like to be optimistic but i just don’t think that’s realistic.

    We are on the right track for sure. But the work to fix corruption has barely started.

    Stay vigilant and watch the money.

      We got at least two new Senators who publicly disavowed AIPAC money. They can keep slinging money, but they’re clearly losing their grip.

      I’m right there with you buddy. You need to temper your expectations. We’re headed in a good direction but still have some muddy water to tread through.
