We had that same chance between 2021 and 2023, when we controlled the White House and Congress, and Democrats didn't seem to have the boldness to take the risks that would have been involved to stopping him, even though we could have done it then.

We need to elect Democrats committed to stopping him, not those who are feathering their nests to hang on to their jobs with corporate pac money that then causes them to lose it when real action is required. Check David Hogg's list with Leaders We Deserve before voting
