Republicans routed as Democrats gain powerful new leverage over Trump for remainder of his presidency

Democrats have regained control of the US Senate, routing Republicans nationwide with historic victories that will give them powerful new leverage over Donald Trump for the remainder of his presidency.

Democrats will soon have the ability to hold up not just Trump’s legislative agenda, but also any appointments he makes to his cabinet or the federal judiciary – including the supreme court, where conservatives have a 6-3 majority.

    Now that the elections are over, can we change the voting system so 3rd parties can compete without a spoiler effect? How we vote is controlled at the state level, so what is the excuse blue states?

    Im a big fan of STAR voting, check it out sometime.

    This is where I would usually link videos on the flaws of FPTP voting and more representative electoral systems we could choose from. That time has passed us by. Good luck everyone.
