Welch: As someone who lives in a red state, let me just tell you what MAGA supermajorities get you. We're 50th in education. The worst in the whole country for women to live. We're poorer, worst health care. And if you look at the bottom ten states, they are all MAGA supermajorities.

If Obama or Biden had said this, it would be rightfully understood as them arrogating dictatorial authority to themselves, it would be the only thing anyone in the media or opposition would talk about for a year, and it would probably end their presidency. For Trump, it’s literally just Tuesday.

Do you feel the Democratic Party will ever get back to its roots of actually tackling the major issues of the day we face? They haven't bent the cost curve on healthcare, childcare, education, or housing.. even when they've been in power. Republicans aside, this seems like an obvious path forward

Exactly this. They're far too deep into it, and admitting it to themselves is a check their egos cannot cash
