So was Obama. And he got fuckall done because we have a tricameral system that balances the powers between three branches of government, and the Republicans own two of them.

To eliminate the Electoral College, replace stripped environmental regulations, and replace the insurance industry with actual healthcare, will take all three branches of government working together towards the same goal.

And while a blue sweep would be nice, nobody is seriously thinking that's going to happen.

So even if Biden wins the Presidency and the Democrats retain the House, we will be EXACTLY where we are today with progressive issues: deadlocked.
