Lets take the Senate for example, where your party still has some significant power.
Republicans have a 51 seat majority, and in effect 52 votes with the VP being a tie breaker.
The GOP needs 50 votes to pass the tax reform bill and your party has sacrificed every bit of political leverage in a futile attempt to deny Trump any of his agenda. Had Schumer played ball just a little, engaged in some negotiations or allowed a few of the Dem Senators to bargain, the Dems might have saved the SALT deduction.
But no, you Dems want to pretend Trump is not the legit President and oppose EVERYTHING with no compromise.
And so you are reaping the Whirlwind.
