And in red states, that's probably true, you would do better to talk the DINOs up to the skies. The thing is, we will never make any progress without a majority. We even had one, and look how little we could get. It's not working to complain about it and make it easier for Republicans.

I lived through the Bush era with a Republican Congress, and yet, they are worse.
