All the polls are showing overwhelming Dem victories in a few weeks. Places that haven't elected a Dem in decades are in play. Musk has spent hundreds of millions propping up flailing candidates, particularly a twice convicted felon in Texas.

Assuming the polls are rights, & the elections are allowed to happen, that the right doesn't cheat, that the Dems take back both houses, with Jeffries as Speaker.... What will the will they do with that power?

Most likely little, to nothing, to alleviate people's financial hardships, the climate crisis, the wars in Iran and Ukraine, the genocide in Palestine. And nothing to reverse the chaos, surveillance, police state, and autocracy that have expanded under Trump.

And in 2028, when the masses are still unable to afford food, housing, fuel, college, and their communities are burning down or being washed away by floods, they will rightly blame the Dems.
