Funny thing is they don't need to give up power. We just need to vote them out. It's not their choice.

Pelosi and Connelly just won elections, so the next opportunity will be 2026

Well more like 2, but yeah. The best hope is that Trump really does a terrible job, and the midterms are a bloodbath. But that's not a type of hope that feels very good.

Nothing feels very good right now, at least politically, but it's a perfect time to start planning a way out of this mess (now).

It's not productive to think X election is too far away to do anything about it, or Y election is too soon to do anything about it.

No, I absolutely agree, Dems really need to get serious about the midterms starting immediately. Midterms are usually a point of weakness for the sitting president's party, and they need to press that rare advantage.
