Not going to happen if they elect Schumer and Jeffries, those two are do nothing and corporate sellouts, we need young and new leadership.
If they want to keep this great win, they need to play the game very smart, pass common sense legislation and let Trump and Reps sink their ship even more, use the vetos and blocks they will get against them, don't be afraid to point it out, but Dems are so stupid on getting the message out, to control the narrative, that Reps and Trump will be loud af, and Dems will just cave in
They need to play the same game and stop being afraid, we want medicare for all, pass it, let the Reps sink it, we want corporate money out of politics, repel Citizens United, make abortion rights law, make gay marriage law, prevent public officials to trade stocks, term limits, pass the national popular vote interstate compact...
Keep religion out of our schools, politics, I will fight for you right to be a Christain, Jew, Muslim, but don't shove it down my throat, I don't care about your commandments, I don't care about your teachings, they're yours, you follow them.
Dems have an opportunity to change the future of this country and a chance to make Reps sink even more, will they do it? or will they elect the spineless and do-nothing Schumer and Jeffries?
All they have to do is this and the Republicans will come around. That is why the democrats just had a blue wave because they got some of the Republicans votes. If they can keep that going without letting the fringe groups pull them back down ,wr may be in great shape in a few years.
Passing gay marriage laws will win the Dems that community and everyone that support it, common sense immigration reform (not free citizenship) gets the latino community, reduce military spending by 100 billion a year, we will still outspend the next 10 most powerful nations, and save 1 trillion dollars over 10 years.
Medicare for all, get the right message out, drive the narrative, don't let reps be louder, whenever the reps say something that isn't true, expose their lies
And when it gets to Trump's desk, let him veto all, and make sure you come out and say it, we did this, but Republicans and Trump blocked it, they don't care about your rights, etc etc... they need to play the same game, but smarter, let the reps dive their own grave by blocking everything
It was mostly independents shifting and Republicans staying home. But thanks for the reminder that centrists will always be courting Republicans, even after a historic victory like this
An opportunity to shape a generation? If they keep Congress and win the presidency in 2028, maybe. With Trump in the White House? No
Democrats have to be careful not to over promise here. And their supporters should not expect world-changing legislation. Modest expectations are the key to perceived success here.
And for God’d sake, when Republicans kill a bill that would clearly and directly help Americans (and they will), spend some money and make sure the public knows about it.
The house cleaning has only just started. There is still too much AIPAC sludge that needs washed away. Nothing good will happen until Congress is working for Americans again.
It'll be interesting to to see in the next session how many Republicans steer away from Trump and MAGA being that any association was a curse last Tuesday.
Those that are left are good to kiss ass for two more years. Attention spans are so short they only gotta pretend to distance like 6 months from the election.
Democrats are gifted at failing to read the room and understand why they won an election. If they can create a big tent party, they can put Republicans on life support for the next decade. I’m afraid instead of that they will read this as a mandate to let the fringe left of their party drive the show. They’ll probably take the White House in two years, but Republicans will be back in play by the next midterms.

Jesus. It's like no one on reddit even knows the job of the Senate leader or why no one else wants the job.

Not really.
Need 2/3rds in the Senate to do anything. The Supreme Court has 6 partisan hacks.
