Gotta work with them, still.
Without 60 votes in the Senate, nothing gets thru.
Yes, they will extract even greater concessions than the Republican Party pre-2016 would but that's the price that must be paid if we're ever gonna get anywhere.

Honestly, I wonder where the next few years are going to take us. There's a lot of dissatisfaction at the Democratic Party from the left because yes they are tired of Democratic party bending over and trying to court the mythical centrists.
Maybe we'll get somewhere if we get the left equivalent to the tea party that won't be afraid to put the screws to the red hordes.
But you are not going to get jackshit from republicans in the meantime. Those fuckers hate your guts, it's not a matter of negotiating and giving concessions, they want your ass gone.
