      They can’t do anything DC because they don’t have the numbers.

      The ones doing stuff are back in their home states working to add to Dems numbers in midterms. Then hopefully we can mitigate some damage. Then in the election after midterms we got a shot to actually fix shit.

      They don’t control the House or Senate. Even when they do get a bare majority in the Senate, they refuse to eliminate the filibuster which means the Republicans can require a 60 vote majority to do ANYTHING and nobody has 60 votes.
