*people vote for democrats*
Democrats: "We did it! We're in charge! BUT! We can't do anything."
People: Why not?
Democrats: "Because if we do, then in 2 years when we're voted out for not doing anything, we can't do anything about it!"
People: "What?"
Democrats: "If we're not nice to republicans, they're not going to be nice to us!"
Republicans: "We're not going to be nice regardless."
Democrats: "oh you!"

I read once that a lot of the stuff that Democrats try to defend (such as Roe v. Wade) could be passed into legislation so the GOP couldn't do anything about it such as repealing Roe v. Wade. Is this true?

I'm sure you would have loved Trump having full control to pass whatever legislation he wanted for the past 4 years.

Different branches of government and different functions. Roe v Wade is a constitutional standard as ruled by the Supreme Court. Only the Supreme Court can "overturn" it unless Congress amends the constitution. But any Congress can repeal or overwrite simple legislation.

Thanks to successful Republican gerrymandering, propaganda, court installations and threats at the federal and local levels, the right to an abortion has been whittled down to be mostly symbolic. But the only thing keeping it even nominally legal in most states is the constitutional standard written in Roe v. Wade's insulting compromise about when pregnant women cease to be people (and then made worse in Gonzales v. Carhart).

Yeah, the government shouldn't be able to pass anything because otherwise the Republicans will pass things when they're in charge!

At least Biden will look professional and less embarrassing than Trump!

The Russians? Dear god man
An example of a non inert Dem would would be Ron Wyden. I like his views on privacy. Don't know if they're effective, but I'm glad he at least puts on a show of talking about it.

I'd rather a government that can do things. Besides, if basic human rights are at that much of a risk when half of our politicians are in power, then maybe this county isn't even worth protecting. The collapse is inevitable.

Yeah, might as well let it all collapse into a fascist hellhole. Sounds good. Not at all like a child pretending to play politics.

Maybe we should do something about these fascists then instead of just dribbling out the clock every 4-8 years and then swapping to a full court press on defense.

"Change is slow! We need to get in office and slowly work to progress."

"We can't change anything when we're in office! If we do, the fascists will be able to do what they want when they win. Best thing we can do is protect what we have and minimize the havoc their inevitable turns will wreak."

I guess we'll see healthcare reform in 400 years, in another country. No way an America this close to fascist collapse will survive.

Reps right now successfully defending against every single challenge to hold them accountable and CE really mad that Dems don't pass healthcare in 20 days (despite Biden campaigning on not significantly changing healthcare).

Democrats controlled the House for two of those years, and Republicans already bypassed the filibuster for the majority of what they wanted.

If Republicans want to pass their absurdly unpopular agenda, let them fucking try.
