I'm really shocked they didn't cave [within the first week or two]. I was nearly 100% certain they would.

I'll work on my Nostradamus more.

They spent the past year pathetically whining about they just couldn't fight Trump and their supporters just needed to wait and vote. Then they cave in not even one week after a wave election where just about every single Democrat who was running for something won their seat.

Why do the liberals hate it so much when the Democrats get called a controlled opposition, it's so self evidently true.

If the Dems are controlled opposition, there's no one on their side. That's legitimately scary and could mean the only way to get proper representation is revolutionary action, which is even scarier and seems impossible. No surprise really that people who are currently fairly comfortable are reluctant to believe it.
