I don’t know if that’s a good idea honestly. First, they’d be giving up winnable seats in the future. Second, it’d be Democrats in charge of a republican controlled house. Sure, they could put up things they want for a vote, but stupid people would now think they’re responsible for the nothing that gets done. Letting Republicans tear each other apart is probably better politically without major concessions.
