This couldnt have been a better outcome for the democrats right now

a true red wave would have been devastating.

instead the gop has the house for 2 years.
will they...
a) spend 100% of their time doing witch hunts?
b) 50% witch hunts 50% working with the dems in the senate and biden to pass stuff that matters to americans or
c) 100% both sides working together to do normal law passing stuff to help the people


in 2 years we will see if they return to the same partisan bullshit that americans dont want and bring in the next blue wave.


if the dems had kept the house and the senate and still not get shit done the next 2 years i fear there really might have been a red wave. this outcome totally negates that worry.

much like the Clinton witch hunts of the 1990s. Which I strongly suspect is going to happen. The people made it clear that they want this kind of shit to stop, not go into overdrive. It's going to be one of many exploding cigars the GOP is going to light up.

keeping control of both houses would have been better, but you think they wouldn't "get shit done"?

they had a 7 vote advantage in this congress and they got shit done.

trump tells them to do. They will investigate everyone trump thinks did him wrong by not going along with is "big lies", and they they will ignore what the the people really want them to do.

It will be all about what trump wants, and trump will get his revenge on the whole republican Party. it will be the scorched earth agenda!
