Republicans have an agenda, and they rail it through at every opportunity. I've never seen, in my lifetime, a unified effort by the liberal wing of fascism on almost anything. Even when they have full control of the government, they get nothing done somehow.

    I wouldn’t say got nothing done.

    Just look at Biden’s presidency: ending Europe’s economy, expansion of military contracts by starting wars everywhere, instituting austerity through high interest rate that transferred wealth from poor people (predominantly black and Hispanic) to white people, huge payout to Wall Street (S&P went up two fold under strong inflation), restored America’s oil and gas exporter profit after the prices were kept low under Trump.

    They’ve done a lot, just not for you.

    You've always got your token senator to blame it on like Lieberman, Manchin, Sinema, Fetterman, etc. There's always a focus on the individual, instead of the senatorial system itself, which is dumb and only exists to placate slave states and the rich.

    I wish there was a way to show the Democrats are to blame. All o ever get in response is that people need to learn civics and government to see its not actually their fault.
