I think democrats are controlled opposition, but do people not understand that they currently aren't in power?

The fed is run by the GOP. Dems are only enough of a problem that Trump has to write EOs for every goddamned thing.

[-] JcbAzPx@lemmy.world 1 points 5 hours ago

That's the problem. The gop is always in control whether they have a majority or not.

Democratic party with a supermajority: can barely pass a conservative health insurance reform bill with zero repub votes after bargaining themselves out of any actual good parts.

GOP with a one vote majority: mandate of the people; they get everything they want and there's nothing the dems can do to stop it.

Again, I understand that they're controlled opposition, but the "wHy doNt dEms dO sOmeThIng" is just useless hot air when they aren't in a position to do anything.

Maybe if Biden had written EOs for every goddamned thing we wouldn't be in this mess.

[-] ChickenLadyLovesLife@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

Maybe if Obama had done something about Russian election interference on behalf of trump in 2016, we wouldn't be in this mess.

Most American American to ever America gets elected as president.

Dems: Russia did it!!

[-] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 13 hours ago

Most of us don't want our government to work that way

He didn't have the advantage of SCOTUS backing everything he wrote.

In fact, the US Supreme Court actively opposed him.

Well it's a good thing he didn't try then. Things would be so much worse.

Biden was a centrist Democrat who tried to get progressive in his presidential term, but yes, it was a too little too late.

No, Trump took abortion from us when he got to appoint three captured Federalist Society justices on SCOTUS. it just took a couple of years to die.

Next, you'll be saying he lost Afghanistan, when Trump arranged US surrender.

[-] Nonconfrontational@lemmy.ml 4 points 12 hours ago

who tried to get progressive

Uhhh.. What?

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 9 points 15 hours ago

I'm agreeing with you, but I'm also pointing out that "too little, too late" is being very, verrrrry generous.

Biden had the perfect slam-dunkingly solid golden sure win opportunity(s) to take out FatCunt ChildRaper for a myriad of blatantly illegal things. The main stars of which were the televised attempt at an insurrection, and the stealing of top secret documents which were stored in an unlocked room next to a fax...A FAX!!!.
Plus many other things that would be just as easy to prosecute because, let's face it, the orange imbecile and family aren't criminal geniuses.
But, no, instead of going for the tRUMP from day one the old dipshit just slow walked that bullshit for years...then it wasn't his problem anymore.
I didn't exactly like Biden when he was elected, but I now actively hate the guy for doing fuck all. The whole world is a much worse place because Biden is a coward.

So you want the president to seize more power than they legally have and for that escalation to continue whether a fascist is in office or not. Yeah great plan.

[-] architect 2 points 11 hours ago

Let republicans do it only, then. Great plan!

[-] curve@lemmy.world 0 points 11 hours ago

If op bothered to post the whole thread you'd see they are doing something but a complicit media doesn't report on any of that.

This kind of propaganda has worked wonders on all the brightest folks here. Doing its job superbly.

[-] chortle_tortle@mander.xyz 3 points 7 hours ago

Okay, help us out then, what are they doing?

[-] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 0 points 12 hours ago

do people not understand that they currently aren't in power?

There's not much people understand. But they will 100% confidently talk about anything like they know it all.
