Democrats have actively pursued policies that would help a couple thousand a bit every time, while their base expect/imagine SocDem reforms that take a few decades to overturn instead of months. The idiot redditor.world who replied to OP proved that without realising.
Breakdown
the first infrastructure bill in 15(?) or so years
15 years that includes Obama’s term, and it was some meagre shit that won’t even address lead in water
a bill fucking saving the economy during both Obama’s and Bidens first 2 years,
Saved?
the Dodd Frank act
Clinton repealed Glass-Steagall, neither address the actual problem
the ACA
Romneycare
first bill that has ever had any climate change initiatives
Did it even reduce the increase in usian greenhouse emissions? Did it bollocks.
the EV tax credits
“Tesla’s gonna save the world” is the party line from before Musk backed Trump, did you forget?
increased the minimum wage in 2009 and tried to again in 2021. That only failed because they simply didn’t have the votes. They could have gotten rid of the parliamentarian if they wanted but then it still wouldn’t have had the votes even for a simple majority so it wouldn’t have mattered.
I’m keeping this whole to show the stupidity. They admit the parliamentarian doesn’t matter, still mention it, and cower behind not having the votes. If I’m the POTUS, elected spending over $1B and want some policy to pass, I’m gouging the eyes of any dickhead senator that’s standing in the way of my votes. This just goes to show the democrats don’t give enough of a shit about all this. Furthermore, $15 in 2028 or wherever it would’ve gone into effect is the same as $7.25 in 2009. Meaning this is the same shit 12 years later.
expanding trains across the country
I’m guessing that means being trains fatter somehow, since I haven’t heard of Yankees building train networks at a fraction of China’s speed.
filibuster
The jokes write themselves
Democrats should have done more.
X approaching 0 not being 0 is an abstract concern that only matters in maths or small scale physics. In political economy it’s 0.
[Emotional blackmail about ACA]
Don’t care, try actually holding them accountable, not that it’s going to work
Listen, you’re a .ml user.
Reddit.world user feigns historical literacy, fails. Other breaking news: water, wet.
It’s not like they didn’t do anything, especially to Palestinians, Syrians and Ukrainians, so it’s more like:
“Democrats have done a ton of shit”
ok name those things then
Yeah, like passing Republican Medicare (as envisioned by Mitt Romney), when they had an unopposable majority in both Congress and Senate, and holding the presidency.
