They passed the chips act and upheld environmental protections. What are you on?

We will see how workers rights fare under Trump.

The more I read your comment the more insane it sounds. The Dems never had a majority in congress. They had the senate, not the house. The senate can’t do shit if the house isn’t aligned. A VP’s role is not the same as a president and her powers were very limited. Regardless we’re splitting hairs over these things.

ACA is on the chopping block with Trump in control of all executive branches of government. They have no healthcare plan.

We will see what happens, but please stop bullshitting me.

I did make some factually inaccurate statements. Sure.

However, I still stand by my point and my point is strongly reinforced by far less people being excited enough to go vote for Kamala than previous candidates.

But you have to realize just how little the Dems were offering, right? IMO, you have to be fairly wealthy not to see the suffering happening in this country. All the Dems did was tell people that their lived experience was not real and point the finger at Trump. They were utterly impotent. They could have lied like Obama did about Single Payer and government transparency and NO ONE would have noticed. But she couldn’t even do that. Couldn’t even PRETEND to hear anyone out. It was baffling.

Additionally, Biden is basically braindead. So, I can’t quite fathom how you convince yourself that he’s running the country…or has been for a few years now.

I am not bullshitting you. You should try to see me as a mirror that you refused to look in throughout 2024 and should probably start to rethink the tribalism and two party bullshit you’re perpetuating.

The fight is and always has been the rich vs. the poor. We have lost major ground because we allowed identity politics to take hold. We signed away our country to corporations of the world…and the few of us that realize this are trying to wake you (otherwise intelligent) people up.

If you don’t see that, you’re lost and I’m wasting my time.

Leave it to libs to take one small symbolic, easily reversed law and lean heavily on it to excuse the clear pattern of impotence and bloodthirstiness of an almost equally corrupt major power.
