so, are the democrats going to merely waste everybody's time unearthing trump's tax records, and continuing this neo-birchite conspiracy theory about russian hacking?

i was kind of hoping that a democratic congress might be good for trade policy, healthcare, immigration and infrastructure - that this might help the democrats call trump's bluffs in a sandersesque kind of way.

whatever happened to that trillion dollar infrastructure plan? with holding the drug companies accountable? with single payer healthcare?

i just stated myself the other day that most of the democrats in the house will be indistinguishable from republicans, or vice versa if you see the world from the other direction. i'm not naive about this.

but, if they're not able to muster up something of social worth, they're going to end up back in opposition pretty quickly.
