    Without Congress, the executive and SC can do whatever they want in preparation for the mid terms.

      With Congress, the GOP and dempublicans will just keep passing more stuff that hurts us.

        Better to have a higher chance of actually keeping a democracy.

          They’re going to pass the SAVE act if they go back into session, and a handful of Dems will support it to please their conservative districts.

          A Dem elected by conservatives is just a GOP plant.

            All Republicans will support it. A few democrats will. So probability is still heavily on the side of voting Democrat. Engagement in the party itself would also help reduce the chance of turncoat. They are not the same.

    When asked, speaker Johnson said “I don’t know anything about it. I didn’t have time to review”

    Well, it’s smart to minimize their opportunities to do more stupid unpopular shit before the election.
