"Party that does nothing or party that does fascism" is not a democracy.

The Dems are not a do-nothing party, they got a lot done in the 2 years they had Congress and the Presidency. I know it'll never be enough for people like you because you'll just say it wasn't enough and they could have done more, but some things like Biden standing with the union on the picket line was a first in history. The Inflation Reduction Act is objectively helping our nation. We have the lowest unemployment since the 60s. We've managed to avoid a recession and have one of the best inflation recovery rates with an economy frequently surpassing expectations. Billions in student debt forgiveness. A ton of confirmed federal judges. Child poverty was cut in half until all of the Senate GOP and Joe Fucking Manchin decided they couldn't have that. He's the first POTUS to work towards ending reaganomics by actually investing heavily into society and communities similar to FDR and Johnson. While he's done disappointing things regarding oil drilling permits, he's also been the one to invest most heavily into green initiatives.

What we've seen is that the more Dems gain control of federal government and the more they're able to pass the more good they do.

Yes, it would be way better if we had more progressives and they could go further, however absent of the rights and freedoms Republicans are taking away from us, this is one of the best spots our country's been in for decades.

As one of my favorite progressive pundits, John Fugelsang, likes to say, he likes old man Biden way more than 90s Biden because he's evolved on a ton of issues. He shows actual growth as a human, whereas the Republicans just deepen their degeneracy.
