The last 2 times Democrats had trifectas they passed the ACA, ARP & IRA & the 111th & 117th Congresses were the most productive in decades.
Even with a slim House majority & a 50-50 Senate, the Democrats were also able to get numerous pieces of bipartisan legislation passed including:

Some MAGA Republicans may turn against Trump if they suffer enough, but the beliefs that the far left spreads about the Democrats, such as them being the same as the GOP, not doing anything when they’re in power & that they’re not putting up a fight against the Trump alienates potential voters.

I’d take it a step further:
If you supported Uncommitted, you helped Trump.
Even if you voted for Kamala in the end.
Because you weakened the Democratic message and hurt turnout.

Exactly! I'm so tired of folks trying to pretend it's about VP Harris, or the Democrats, or anything else. It has ALWAYS been about racism. Too many white folks on the left need a reality check. Lyndon Johnson explained it, Lee Atwater explained it. Nothing has changed, because WF don't want it to.
