As of right now, the United States has a Democratic president, a Democratic Senate, and a Democratic House. This is now a test for the Democrats. There is no excuse, none whatsoever, to not get things done. No reason not to pass laws and make history – other than maybe cowardice.

Democrats will do nothing substantive. I guarantee this. They are fully captured by corporate interests and the plutes and care about nothing else. Remember, Obama also had these conditions and barely did anything, and squandered all his political capital on a giveaway to health insurance companies.

Things will just get worse somewhat less quickly and they Dems will be less louche. But they will still stab you in the throat if they they think it’ll make Zuck or Bezos an extra billion or two.

Prove me wrong, Dems.
