They had the presidency and both halves of Congress for the first two years under Obama
They had a majority that could override Republicans for all of like 2 months
And again during the first half of Biden’s term.
Never had a supermajority, even though they did get a few epic bills in through some brilliant legislative maneuvering.
and all they gave us was Mitt Romney’s health care plan
Obamacare has saved literally thousands of lives and saved countless more from poverty inducing medical costs and you act like that’s nothing. It’s the single best piece of legislation in the last 50 years at least. And we did that with just a few months of power.
Anyway. For your actual specifics
The Democratic leadership keeps actively stopping attempts to corral the ability of congressmen to get rich off inside trading
I didn’t act like it was nothing. It was a band-aid on a gushing artery that further cemented health insurance companies into our lives. It briefly slowled the continually rising costs people continue to struggle with today. But they pretty much called it a day for the next decade and a half-where now those same companies are auto denying 30% of their claims hoping no one fights the ruling. Without the public option Obamacare wasn’t the solution we needed. It just kicked the can down the road to our current disaster.
Maybe if you fuckers would give them back the same majority that allowed them to make the initial law, they could actually fucking do anything.
You idiots keep NOT VOTING DEMS IN and then complaining when Dems don’t have the numbers to accomplish anything. They’re not sitting with their thumbs up their asses intentionally refusing to pass legislation because they just love being assholes to their own constituents. I can see why you’d make that mistake if you’re not paying attention, because that IS the Republican method. But Democrats are people, not ghouls, so on the rare occasion that you dumbshits vote enough of them in, they accomplish great things.
And my entire point was on those rare occasions where we did vote enough of them in to have a diving super majority (this shouldn’t be necessary to get literally the most basic shit accomplished), they DON’T do those great things.
They do the half assed bare minimum, which has not been enough to combat the backwards March whenever Republicans are even in anything other than the super minority.

Gaza I’ll give you. That’s really the only hugely popular (among non-republicans) issue they refused to support.

What do you mean “those occasions”? It’s happened once in the last 30 years. For like 3 months.
