45. The only Proactive thing we an actually accomplish is investigations

And we should do that like s house on fire.

And also pass lots of bills supporting policies Americans support. Nothing we pass will because law. But it will stake our claim.

Reactively we can stop any trump supported laws from being implemented.

Sadly, I predict now that if we win within 3 months there will be multiple post on DU trashing democrats for not ‘doing enough’. Even though we will not have the power to pass anything
