reminder that, unless Progressives manage to add to seats, every piece of Democratic Legislation will be vetoed.
This was always the ultimate plan by the Reich Wing.

Make no mistake, it did make a difference.
In every critical swing state Hillary lost by less than 1%. In those states Jill Stein received 1% of the vote
Yes there is and was a difference between republicans and Democrats, and the Supreme Court DID MATTER

(68,352 posts)Democrats...moderates, conservadems, progressives...all combinations that give us a majority are needed...the important thing is getting a majority. I don't see many openings for progressives to hand us a majority singlehandedly presently...we must win hearts and minds first and winning elections helps in this process. As an aside, I can't believe Breyers hasn't resigned by now...if he doesn't and we lose the Senate the righties could get another SCOTUS pick.
