    I think the illusion has got you by the short-hairs, Daniel. Need to start thinking independently and realistically.

    I don’t think they knew what they were trying to accomplish with this OP.

    I can hope as that was the overall theme from the party this election. Every one of those ideas were pushed at some level so I listed the ones I really like.

    So now we’re back to my comment about checks and balances. Biden can’t just push through whatever he wants. Thank your founding fathers for that.

    Yes, I am very hopeful the Repubs keep majority in Senate. I assume that’s what you meant by “if you win the Senate”.

    Yes. If it goes democrat they will have an easier time getting some stuff through.

    Let’s hope that doesn’t happen. No party...and I mean no party, should ever have total control of Congress and the WH.

    I agree but even when they had a supermajority under Obama they didn't do anything with it. All the senate really gives them is free appointments, everything else can still be blocked. The advantage of winning it is not to ram stuff through but to hold republican legislation up until they win concessions.

    And yet people are losing their minds predicting the Left will push through their entire agenda. That simply won’t happen.

    No it won't. I have no problem with biden winning although he will essentially be like Obama and just talk alot with nothing to show for it. It will be four years of whining about Trump and republicans and one excuse after another.

    No different than all the whining about Obama during Trump term. Happens every time a new president is elected.

    Actually Trump hardly whined at all about Obama. Never even really mentioned him other then when he was overturning something of his. Never heard him specifically blame Obama for anything.

    I don't recall any of these being part of Biden's platform. Is this a joke?
