If Democrats lose control of Congress this November, is that something that will work against Progressive values?
We know that we have not been in control the past many months, so having the crazies show their craziness even more, may help us in the long run. Maybe not but it looks like we are going in that direction whether we like it or not, so maybe we should prepare for that possibility.
Our President will veto their craziness, and they will not be able to override his vetoes, and then he and all progressives will be seen as the fighters against the barbarians at the door.
Is this part of their thinking, I don't know but getting as much done in this first half of his term may just be also part of his thinking. He is a fighter, it is that we aren't use to his type of fighting.
Again, if you look at the scoreboard, he and we are ahead. It is that many of us are not use to this type of political and economic environment, and this new normal is different than any normal we have experienced in the past.
Time will tell, but I still will contribute and vote progressive this cycle, and praise our accomplishments.
