    Democrats have done a shit ton in the 4 years of the last 30 that they’ve had majorities in both houses and the presidency. But sure let’s just ignore all that and play into the literally right wing propaganda that “Democrats don’t do anything when they have power”.

    Also, it’s really frustrating that I see so many people both being upset Democrats are only doing political theatre stuff because they want them to do something with a minority that has next to no power, but also see people say that Democrats need to do more political Theatre. Often I see this from the same people.

      Yep, there is a lot of this rhetoric today. From a comment I did earlier.

      Right now, it goes like this:

      • Republicans and/or Trump do something fucking crazy that’s not only never been done before, but probably illegal.
      • Everyone shouts frantically, “WhY areN’T tHe DeMS doINg ANyThiNG!” while saying in a rational, quiet, tone, “That’s just how Republicans are.”
      • Repeat
