(3,079 posts)My comment was about generally what was off the table last time we got the majority in the 6th year of a presidency, vs what is supposedly on the table now if as expected we retake the majority now. My comment was about Democratic leaders talking a big game before the midterms, then dialing it back afterwards.
It could be credibly suggested that had we impeached GWB for his clearly unconstitutional and criminal actions, we could have prevented the Repukes from becoming even worse, and prevented the Trump era.
Instead it was once again we want to look forward, not backward and its ok to dissappoint the liberal wing of the party because they have nowhere else to go. That worked out so well, maybe theyll try it again this time with regard to expanding the Supreme Court. We said all options were on the table, we didnt specifically promise to expand the court. Now that we have the majority, we think other things have higher priority.
So, like I said before, Ill remain hopeful but not particularly expectant because weve been let down so many times by our leadership in the past.
