    “well the democrats sure did fix X when they finally had the levers of power

    Dems only had “the levers of power” for 4 months out of like 40 years, when they weren’t stymied and blockades. That’s a big to-do list for so short a time.

      Clinton era. It’s not been great but the Democrats haven’t even tried. The Republicans were out there talking about goals while the Democrats only ever offered tweaks. Nobody is going to get excited over “I’ll keep the status quo!”

      If they had spent the last 20 years actually advocating for progressivism and unions then they’d be winning more trifectas.
