If the Dems can take control of the Government in 2020

no "let bygones be bygones" like they did under Obama in 2008.

The wanton corruption and destruction Trump and the GOP are engaging in cannot go unpunished.

There must be a price to pay for this much damage.

More power to unions, higher minimum wage, more regulation, more progressive taxes, peaceful foreign policy, and so on.

Otherwise every single policy achievement they make will be rolled back by the next Trump.

this is not like the last time. The Trump administration is deliberately trying to do harm to the work class and the poor. Republicans stole the election for Trump with the help of Russians. A message must be sent to any future politician or party that engages in the type of shenanigans that Trump and republicans have. There can be no healing before justice.

when there are only 8 Republicans running for re-election.

In 2020 there are 22.

The odds are much better for 2020
