      Important to be clear: the defeat of Donald Trump is genuine good news, and it should be welcomed unambiguously. But Biden's presidency also signals the return to dominance in Washington of Richard Holbrooke-style liberal imperialism. Caveat emptor.

      A McConnell Senate with a Biden presidency also means a return to austerity economics. We're in for a very rough ride.

          I don't think that's right at all; indeed, I think public works on a massive scale will be the one thing the new administration will succeed in doing while McConnell will get no tax or judicial reform, no DC statehood, etc. But I am always prepared yo be unpleasantly surprised.

          I hope you're right. Given the pandemic recession it would make sense for the Republicans to work with Biden on public works. I just worry they are too committed to obstruction.

          So help us win the two GA runoffs so it is no longer "a McConnell Senate".

          Whatever happens, it will be better than having trump in charge.

          Nah. The R's know they're a dead party if they return to status quo obstructionism. And if they don't, and proceed "as if" -- they'll be wiped out once and for all in the '22 Senate elections.

          No they don’t bc their voters don’t live in the same reality as the rest of us. Nothing gets done with a Republican controlled senate. McConnell can protect his caucus from tough votes and they shape all the blame towards the Democrats. It’s insane you folks haven’t caught on.
