    Democrats never get anything done? Guess none of us have ACA insurance or subsidized energy bills. I guess I’m hallucinating the massive jump in food stamp funding a few years back. I must also be making up Massachusetts providing free access to community college for literally everyone over 25 who doesn’t have a degree.

    I suppose it means literally nothing that Democrats have provided safe harbor for people seeking abortions from states that outlaw it. Bummer about all those marriages that didn’t happen because Democrats never secured marriage equality.

    It’s cool, though. I’m sure the Republicans will actually go do all that stuff the Democrats totally haven’t done.

      If we’re going to pretend that state-level victories should magically be credited to a do-nothing Federal Government controlled by Democrats, then let me remind you that 2/3 of the states are controlled by Republicans, and in 2/3 of the US states it’s still perfectly legal to pay someone $7 an hour.

      It matters that Biden, Harris, and their ilk don’t do anything meaningful and rule as conservatives.
