that which requires Congress . Because it's difficult but just having control of a branch of Govt at least gives us control over what can NOT pass even if we can't do everything we want to do .

I'm not gonna' go on Prozac if the Dems don't take the senate. It'll just suck that we can't expand/improve health care, get liberals on the supreme court, pass a bunch of cool stuff.

w had complete control (presidency & congress) for 6 years (2001-2007)
PBO had complete control for 2 years (2009-2011)
tangeranus had complete control for 2 years (2017-2019), but still had the senate and thus was able to get more supreme court picks

We have to make sure Joe gets the senate in 2022 if we don't get it this year.
