    Not impossible. I think many Republicans will break with Trump seeing this election and the loss of so many "safe" seats should have them afraid.

    I'm not saying they will help pass Medicare for all, but I think they will help pass bills like the end of the Iran war

    Honestly even Medicare for all may not be off the table for the more pragmatic ones, remember it can just as easily be sold as a pro-business act since it would remove a cost from employers. Mind you it also nukes one of the largest industries but fuckem.

    Medicare for all will still be a cost for employers. It just changes who they're paying for their contribution to employee insurance.

    Although it does level the playing field so buisness don't have to compete to have the best health benefits. This will save some employers money, but most it'll be the same. Maybe a decrease on what they have to pay as well

    EXACTLY! And we KNOW this because Republicans JUST broke with Trump in the House to TRY and Stop the VERY UNPOPULAR Iran War!

    Why do you type like a boomer?

    Anyway, last vote to end the war was last month before midterms.

    If you're talking about the vote to impeach Hegseth that was narrowly blocked in the house. 211 against 204 for, let's just check how many seats democrats gained in the house. That's +41 seats. But impeaching Hegseth does nothing to stop the Iran war. The president commands the secretary of Defense and the military. Congress needs to vote under the war powers act to stop the war

    Also impeachment does not require the executive branch to sign off so the veto is irrelevant there.

    If you weren't trying to complain sarcastically my bad
