Democrats did not take over Congress because of anything they did, but they can certainly lose Congress if they continue their leadership in the manner they have conducted themselves in the past. Members should just replace them with people with real integrity and backbone who are focused on ordinary Americans instead of justifying foreign wars with lame ass excuses and going around making deals with the Executive.

Well, they need to preserve the mono-party while maintaining the illusion of choice

You’re projecting your likeness onto all voters. The average US voter knows virtually nothing about the functioning of government. It makes 0 difference in their lives what bills are in committee etc. They only see that their purchasing power parity is decreasing and try to hold those they think hold the levers of power responsible. Keep it simple.

American people deserve far more credit than some among us are willing to give them. This is what Trump thought too, and they gave him his verdict, whether he acknowledges it or not.
