Right now, the only way the Democrats have a chance at the midterms (assuming they aren’t overrun by some manufactured emergency to keep Trump and whoever he likes that day in office for life), is if they do keep the shutdown going until there’s a Democrat president in office.
The problem with that of course is that it means the “small-government” Republicans and the Libertarians get exactly what they want.
Due to the current administration’s shenanigans, states are needing to step up anyway. States came together to get the COVID vaccine out to their people, and to help one another track illnesses. I can see more cooperation like that in the future if the BS keeps up (which it most likely will). My state is already trying to figure out alternatives so we don’t have to be so dependent on the federal government.

That’s contradictory. The midterms happen next fall. The next presidential election isn’t for 3 years.
The midterms happen next fall - and hopefully any new Dems elected vote to keep things closed.
