    True but the house is very close right now. California can take more democrat seats from republicans than Texas can take from democrats.

    This isn’t about removing the president that takes a simple house majority and a 2/3 senate super majority. California can’t change the senate balance in favor of democrats.

    Part of the reason Trump is able to do what he is doing is republican control of the house, senate, and supreme court. So talking even one of those from republicans could make a huge difference.

    Assuming the democrats actually act like an opposition party.

      Im betting they’ll take it right up to the finish line and then pretend to fall down so the Republicans claim victory. Liberals far and wide will cheer them on for “trying” and then excuse their failures because “Democrats dont have the power to do anything.”

        The Dems are famous for Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. It’s their primary election identity, just like MAGA’s primary election identity is Election Fraud.
