    Huh, so is he gonna stop funding genocide? Is he gonna end student loans? Let women get abortion healthcare at military bases? Stack the court? Stop giving military equipment to police? Give me $1200? Federally legalize pot and pardon all cannabis possession/distribution charges?

    it will be interminably funny to me that the democrats could literally have spent the entire last 4 years just pushing any single one of these issues through the House/Senate and gotten it passed & they would’ve swept 2024 without even having to worry about Trump. Like they could’ve just made Student Loan forgiveness threshold a lot lower (i.e. bring it down from 10 years of on-time payments or whatever it is currently at, to something more reasonable like 4 years or just…forgive all federal student loans for everyone who made less than $150k last tax year) and won by a landslide. They could’ve just done a little bit more than pardoning marijuana convictions - like if they’d spent the entire last year demanding the DEA reschedule it anytime someone from his cabinet was in front of a microphone, surely the DEA would’ve.

    But nah, too much effort and we HAVE to remember that the Democrats don’t control both chambers!!!
