    Don’t speak too fast. With the RN (far right) being unable to govern now, they’ll be able to watch comfortably from the sidelines and criticise everything the others are attempting to build without doing anything themselves. They will be blameless for the presidential elections in two year’s time.

    Had they been in power now, we would have seen how incompetent they are and it could have lowered their chances for the next election. And we’d have had them for two years instead of five (or, ok, a risk of two + five).

      Which is what the GOP does anyway. Obstruct any progress as much as possible, criticize the Dems for not doing anything while ignoring their obstruction as the reason, and when something does happen to get through their obstruction they go back to their districts and take credit for it.

          They’re not that different. Democrats and Republicans are just coalitions that are already formed. The actual party organizations in different states are run very differently, with different priorities. The Democratic Party in MA is not the same as the Democratic Party in Texas.
