My somewhat tepid prediction for the future is Biden wins, Dems get a small majority in the Senate, then do nothing of major note with the majority and mandate for 2yrs. No PR or DC statehood. No expanded SC. No prosecutions of Trump and his lawbreaking enablers. We'll get a minor rollback of some of Trump's tax cuts and little more. Because when it comes down to it, AOC is right. Dems have never had the stones. They'll be too busy infighting to do the bold thing. They'll eat their own arguing over a Green New Deal and how progressive it should be. We'll suddenly realize some of these "moderate Dems" are beholden to Wall Street just like the Republicans, and they won't actually vote to support things like free college for all or a Biden healthcare plan. I hope I'm wrong.

Lead the charge, AOC. We're relying on you and a small handful of others not only to stand up to the GOP, but also be the spine of the DNC.

She's right. She almost always is. The Dem Old Guard just lets the Republican party get away with everything without even the slightest pushback.
