    Just trust me, bro is not what I want to stake the future of the country on.

    If Jeffries is Speaker and doesn’t deliver on progressive demands, the political situation is going to become very unstable. Expect more Democratic primary challenges and wilder swings in the electorate as people desperately look for someone who will finally actually do something, and maybe some solutions will be tried outside the ballot box.

    We’re sitting on a powder keg.

      I anticipate the next 2 years are going to be rough. I would not be surprised if the Trump Admin starts arresting legislators.

      As far as the Democratic Party, I anticipate the progressive momentum from this election will carry over into 2028. What we’re witnessing is literally a generational shift, as all these 80 year olds finally start dying or losing power and Millennials are rapidly increasing their power in Congress
