I disagree. Democrats had the presidency, the house and the senate (filibuster proof). They chose a republican friendly solution that was just a bandaid on a broken system.
All it did was piss off republicans and give them a rallying point while doing nothing to encourage democrats to vote.
They should have had the balls to create a system that actually fixed the problems, but they didn’t.
There were like one or two very conservative Dems who derailed the single payer option when they had the filibuster proof majority. The main problem is not getting a solid party wide understanding of the goals they are aiming for ahead of the chances to do something about it.
you mean like the suddenly 10 conservative democrats who just happen to vote to allow trump to continue dismantling the government? including the democratic leader in the senate schumer? stop excusing their lack of accomplishments on a few bad applies. the bulk of the party is rotten.
It wouldnt have mattered if they had 90 members in the senate and 90% of the house they'd find the votes to prevent anything that helps the working class.
Democrats played controlled opposition and the normie still dont see it.
God I hate the term normies. It’s such a chronically online term. And it’s absolutely not normal to be so fucking stupid as to not realize that the democrats are controlled opposition. Every other country in the world can see it.
You are correct on both counts
