And by major legislation I mean any major nation wide issue such as immigration, climate change, automation, minimum wage/living wage, tax reform, health care, wall street reform, education reform, civil rights, etc etc.You can almost replace no major legislation with no legislation but Im sure minor things such as continuing resolutions will keep passing as a stopgap to fund the government and a few trade deals will get passed. But thats pretty much it, no matter which democrat wins the white house. Here is the reasoning I have this view.It is impossible for a Republican to ever win the white house, and will continue to be less likely into the future due to urbanization and minority demographics.It is impossible for democrats to ever control 60% of the senate and the majority of the house ever again due to demographics and geography of districts and rural states.It is impossible for the Republican base and Republican politicians to moderate over time due to the prevalence of media/internet and the continuous feedback loop of propaganda. For example, the recent no go zones debacle. This is still being repeated in right wing circles.Because of items 1 to 3, it is impossible to amend the constitution to get money out of politics.Ok there is is, lay it on me. CMV. And just saying something like well, youre right but ill be 40 years instead of 50 years does not really challenge my view.
