(192 posts)...we are stuck with Trump (or Vance if nature has its way) until January 2029 at the earliest. So the most realistic thing they can run on, and by realistic, I mean shit they can ACTUALLY get done, gumming up the works and being a check and balance on the Trump admin is really the only thing we can offer until we have regime change.

I would be nice though.
