the Dems seem so ineffectual. Its because our voters
Classic victim blaming. "We're doing a lousy job because of the people not trusting us in spite of doing a lousy job!" 🙄
Vote first, and then get results.
That hasn't worked since 1978 at the very latest and it won't suddenly start working now.

The reason for that problem isn't a lack of mandate, it's that the vast majority represent their big sum owner donors much more than the public at large. As shown by how the party fights anti-corporate Democrats much harder than they ever fight Republicans, even the fascists of today.

And people who don't prioritize the interests of the public don't pass law that furthers the interest of the public over those that supply big legal bribes, no matter how many of them there are in Congress.
