I mean, it depends on what you mean by “the Dems”…

Schumer and Jefferies were/are lame ducks and obviously did nothing despite holding congressional leadership positions

And the DNC stayed out of it, because they shouldn’t be involved in stuff like that, the party should never be setting policy like that.

Individual politicians with Ds by their names were ringing the alarm bells throughout that period and continue to do so.

There just wasn’t/isn’t much they can do for the next 6 months.

Things can get a lot better just by then

That said, I do believe in a swing of the pendulum, though this time it may swing further to the left than many expect.

I agree many don’t see it coming…

But for people that know history, another FDR is obviously right around the corner, and we’re a lot more likely to get a progressive Senate/House which not having is what held FDR back. Even if not, the president has a lot more power compared to 80 years ago.

Shit looks bad and could get way worse, but on a 20 year timeline I never been more optimistic about America’s future.
