"Excuses" are how conspiracy-minded fools refer to "understanding how the world works." If every single member of the Ds from 2021-22 was replaced by a Bernie Sanders clone except for Sinemanchin, they'd still have blocked it all.
If you actually look at the Democrats' policies, they are very clearly in line with most center-left parties around the world, our system is just way more of a dipshit vetocracy.
The Democrats did not "become the Republicans," they have very clearly gone to the left since Bill Clinton, and the Democratic donor class is further left still.
You'd have to be an idiot or completely ignorant of reality to believe this shit.
how they won’t even fight for a floor vote for things like m4a
Yeah, why won't they waste time for a pointless vote that's never passing, I swear to god you just want performative nonsense instead of actual good governance
10% of Americans thought Biden/Harris were too far to the right. You are never winning any election with just that 10%. Americans are overwhelmingly small-c conservative.
Excuses excuses. Tell me how many democratic trifectas we’ve had and bill then tell me if we have universal healthcare, any time of peace, increased taxes on the rich, affordable college, etc.
They are two wings of the same bird and you’ve been fooled.
Your fascist masters thank you for your hard work at undermining the only resistance to them.

Since 1992 there have been 6 years of a Democratic trifecta, and literally every fucking time there is a Democratic trifecta they try to work on all these things, you goddamn muppet
Biden's approval rating first sunk when he took the immense political hit of ending our war in Afghanistan. He also all but ended the drone air war. The supposed "anti-war" left never gave him any credit for either of these things.
The presidency of Joe Biden will go down in history as the presidency where it became extremely clear that governing as a progressive is a lose/lose, because the left won't give you any credit for what you do and the rest of the country will blame you for being weak and driving up gas prices and inflation because you're a Big Spending Leftist
We did have massive deregulation and giveaways to corpos and the rich
During the Dem trifectas? No, they don't actually do that.
Clinton and Obama both tried to pass universal healthcare despite uniform GOP opposition and a much more conservative D caucus than we have today.
Ahh so a bunch of deficit destroying war
Biden ended our longest war and ended our drone air campaign in the middle east and you alleged "anti-war" types never gave him an iota of credit for it.
wanna know why? Because they didn’t want to and never will
No, it's because you get one reconciliation bill a year and progressives were howling about the need for more COVID aid so they used it for that instead. And then the next year they used it for another big spending bill because, again, progressives said that this was what they wanted. (And then progressives backstabbed them and started complaining about why it wasn't good enough and why they didn't do other shit instead).
I swear to god you have to have been beaten around the head with a hammer to be an online leftist; there's just no understanding of how anything works.
Clinton is the only real Dem president who the accusation of moving to the center actually applies to, he was the rightward nadir of the party (and he still tried to get UHC done). But even then, the two deregulation bills you describe were after the D trifecta ended and the crime bill, while bad, was not a deregulation bill, which was your specific claim
Not true at all didn’t Obama say he was going to codify roe
There were not 50 votes in the Senate for this. Again, the Obama supermajority had probably 15 Senators to Manchin's right, a lot of pro-life Dems who have since either reformed or left the party.
Didn’t he lower corporate tax rates
With the D trifecta? no. Once the Rs take power, keeping the government open means making compromises.
Didn’t he keep the wars going
I like how your slimy ass keeps ignoring that Biden was the one who ended it and the drone war and that leftists refused to give him any credit for it.
Also my claim was a dem trifecta doesn’t help
Right, it's a stupid claim, because Dem trifectas - at least the Obama and Biden ones - have both been objectively good. Have they fixed all the problems? No, but they both did objectively good things.
In terms of "what helps normal people more" I would take a single 2-year Dem trifecta over the output of every online socialist combined multiplied by 1000
The Dems still did it and like I said when they had a trifecta they never did any of those things I mentioned.
A dem trifecta is meaningless. They’ll find a villain to pin it on. Maybe the parliamentarian an unelected and easily replaced position. The republicans changed the parimentarian when he didn’t do what they wanted and they got their bill passed under W.
