You gave the Democrats 48 seats, the Republicans 49 and independents 3.
That’s enough power to filibuster, not enact change.
Get back to the rest of us when we see anything close to a supermajority for the democrats and you can call that “total power”.
You’ve given the Democrats some power and it’s done you some good. The inflation act is not bad for a 1 seat majority.
Try upping it a bit and you’ll do more than just keep the lights on and avoid government shutdowns.
Or don’t turn up at the polls and hand an on the record fascist the white house.
Watching from outside the first Trump term was a bizarre result. But he lost the popular vote and won on a personality cult in some key demographics, while idiots decided Hilary Clinton wasn’t good enough to turnout for.
If Trump actually wins while his personality and politics are laid bare, after a disastrous 4 years in office domestically and in foreign policy. I honestly don’t know what I’ll think of the USA.
I’d certainly support any cessation from the states that actually fuel your economy and want to keep democracy.
