What's he supposed to do, with a practical minority in the Senate and a Supreme Court that won't respect black letter law, let alone executive orders?

I think that's my point.

Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results is literally the definition of insanity.

I'm doing the same thing every election. I vote Dem. I encourage my family to vote, and to vote dem. I encourage my friends and co-workers to vote.

It's (not surprisingly) not making a difference.

If we can flip two more Senate seats (without losing any), we can abolish the filibuster rule regardless of what Manchin and Sinema do (assuming no others step up to be weasels). Pennsylvania, Ohio, Wisconsin, North Carolina, and Florida are the principal targets: winning all five of those would be great.
