Even when Democrats are in power, they still don't do anything hardly at all. I have voted Democrat for a long time now, but what we really need to do is get rid of First Past the Post voting in America, as it would really light a fire under them to be effective or be replaced.
They get plenty done. They just don't get everything YOU want done.
Do yourself a favor and Google Biden's accomplishments as president. He actually got a lot of good shit done. But Democrats are always held to a higher standard, so people like to pretend they didn't do anything because they expect them to do everything.
If democrats cared about the country, they would back Ranked Choice voting.
Too bad they fucking harpooned it in Colorado. Democrats and Republicans campaigned against it and killed the initiative. Neither party wants it because it pulls power away from both of them.
We do, but democrats have not had effective comprehensive power to overcome typical republican bullshittery in decades.
No, they have had power but they have absolutely shitty leaders who defend capital above all else.
Look at Jeffries right now....do you think McConnell ever said "oh well, what can we do?...we have no leverage. We're not gonna bother swinging at every pitch."?
And Schumer...JFC what a milquetoast fucking wimp. Doesn't fight ANYTHING; just wants to hold votes to "get (GOP) on the record" as obstructionists. What a fucking pussy.
Republicans purged 3.5 million voters likely to vote Democrat from rolls in 2024.
