Yeah, yeah he will veto legislation. Make him. Make him veto popular stuff. Put every Republican on record opposing the Medicare For All But No Ballroom Act. Turn the next two years into a non-stop vetofest. Make them afraid to say no. Make them say no and suffer for it.
If you don't want to legislate because of vetos, I have some news for you: your view is that democrats cannot try to make law without veto-proof majorities in both houses. That is a useless governing philosophy. We have a generational mandate to overturn and punish years of Republican boobery because the public hates it. Give the people what they want. Make the other side give the people what they *don't* want. Be good at politics for once.
For too long, Schumer and his ilk have capitulated and caved in the name of “get along to go along” and done nothing but handed success to the Republicans with nothing in return. There is no point in being polite to the Trump-supporting people in D.C. and there never has been.
