52. I think Dems want to govern

Thu Feb 5, 2026, 10:39 PM

Thursday

They don't mind the hard work... and they're good at it.they see getting bogged down in undoing the harm of the last admin as badness that keeps them from miving forward. Just my opinion.

The one thing I want more than anything is a united congress... so work can be split up among committees and the whole congress multitasking like crazy.

I also want all potential campaigners to be thoroughly vetted so we know who were voting for. And we need to make sure no pedos and other criminals can qualify to run.

And I see two public commissions that need to be held. One being a Nuremberg style and another one for us, the citizens p. Our voices haven't been in 10 years. We need to be heard on our ideas after living through this terror.
