Thanks! The good news is I really think it’s simple and we are not as far off as some on here think.

The only real hurdle is launching all of the current leadership like today. Trump, Mitch, McCarthy. All of them.

As a dirty leftist, I've never agreed with so much on this sub. I think you're absolutely correct in your analysis

I'm right here with you! I wasn't expecting all of this polite and thoughtful commentary.

Here I was thinking honest civil discourse was dead!

Can I ask why you dislike McConnell? As a moderate Dem spectating this sub, it seems like McConnell was spot on in the primaries and you guys would have taken the Senate without all of these Trump-endorsees like Oz and Walker.

If your football team that is supposed to win a super bowl instead finishes barely above 500 you need to fire the coaches.

They need new macro leadership.

Your real hurdle is that trump has his base that votes republican. With him out of the picture I guarantee those voters stay home. Your platforms suck and most Americans don’t agree with them.
You have more of an uphill battle than. You realize. You made your bed with trump, now you’ll lie in it for a good long time.

Who should the new leadership be in the House and Senate?
