Winning the house and senate would curb the Trump admin considerably. The admin will be playing defense rather than offense and democrats can issue subpoenas. Are we surely going to stop contributing to the Palestinian genocide? Probably not, but there’s a chance the progressive wing could withhold support for key votes and demand concessions — in much the same way the ultra conservative wing of the Republican Party prevented them from passing some of their agenda.

I just doubt the democrats have the political will to make any real moves other than some symbolic blocks. I think the Dems run a cleaner show but they are functionally very similar to the Republicans. What does their platform even stand for these days?

Subpoenas don’t do much when the law just gets ignored anyway
