But it won’t be a tweet driven policy presidency. Biden is used to working with the opposite side in the senate.

Not gonna be easy. But it’s doable and someone like Biden can do it. He’s not afraid of talking to the people directly or talking to the media.

I’d certainly prefer 50/50.

I’m also not giving up on Montana or the GA senate seats yet.

It sucks but it’s doable. We need to concentrate on the senate for 2022 if we don’t get 50/50 this year.

there’s a lot of good Biden can do in the executive. Repeal all Trump EO. Plus he’ll have his cabinet, the DOJ and intelligence agency’s. So yes, we won’t pass any legislation but a lot can be done to reverse the damage that Trump has inflicted on us.
