For instance, relocating military bases in their state and moving them elsewhere. There are a lot of things they can do, the dems refuse to do them, the red states get more in fed taxes than they pay in, and the dem states are donor states, and our politicians don’t change it back, it always ratchets to the repubs.
“Now, Democrats must deliver,” the progressive senator wrote, urging her party to push Trump to live up to his vow to work with Democrats in the new Congress. “We should force him to do that on the affordability and corruption issues that drove this election—or call his bluff.”
Warren is stating Democrats need to mandate the fuck up and pass the policies, that the American people want, send it on it’s way to Trump and the Republicans and dare them to veto it.
The fact that Trump will veto it or that the Republicans won’t vote for the override don’t matter to Warren and what we progressives have been saying this entire time. Just do it, show you are delivering, and then tell the story loud and proud that you pass the law and Republicans told the American people no, stop giving a fuck about what Republicans will do and just do you.

Right… But we’re pretending that Democrats haven’t attempted to do this in the past. The problem is that the constituents of the DNC actually hold their representatives accountable candidates the constituents of the RNC tend to not give a shit.
So you “should” stop watching and call your own rep to demand they deliver.
I think the inherent problem is that there is no real way to overturn a presidential veto without winning a super majority vote in Congress.
Since Trump is termed out and is officially in his lame duck period, there’s not a whole lot of leverage to force him to behave in any particular way.
There is plenty of leverage, the democrats refuse to play hardball. Idk how the democratic voters came to think they can’t play hardball politics.
What exactly would that entail? What kind of hard ball would effectively overturn or prevent an executive veto?
