      They actually did a whole lot when they had absolute-minimum majorities in 2020-2021. Just not on spending for housing — a couple of the Democratic Senators were bought off and opposed to it.

        as will happen the next time around we get leftists to vote for a center-right establishment candidate, but it’s also proven that that requires the far-right establishment candidate to be considerably worse than the center-right establishment candidate that we have now.

        i suspect that the democrats are going to lurch further to right if trump wins this election, as the latest polls suggest; making the difference between both establishment candidates harder to discern and, thus, guaranteeing that leftists will continue to have a weak showing on election day due to even more reduced meaningful outreach from either rightist candidate.
