    If Democrats don’t pull the same shit in reverse (unless the GOP pulls their usual bullshit of changing the rules on their way out the door) then they literally don’t give a fuck and are officially a pretend opposition party.

      They won’t because they’re controlled opposition. A release valve for people to flock to when the GOP grows too difficult to render palatable to the public at-large. Dem Leadership simply waits to absorb discontent. They don’t function as an organized party.

      The only role they do fill is to cast dispersion on any kind of third-party coalition building.
