Yea, both Democrats and Republicans have a pretty solid history of voting in lock step on matters of giving themselves more power.
And they expect to control the White House soon. Why not set yourself up with more power for when you get power?
The same people who regularly give us uninspiring and insipid candidates to run against demagogues and repeatedly act surprised when they lose ground expect to gain control of a White House where the current president is treating democracy as if it’s an optional hindrance – expect to take power?
If nothing else, I admire their optimism.
Well, Biden won in 2020.
Only because he was matched up against the most hilariously inept and unqualified opponent in the history of American politics, and even that wasn't enough to save them twice.
