    Yes you did. You just convinced yourself that your team was powerless when they didn’t do anything to stop it.

        Jesus, so many things.

        • Stop simply handing out subpoenas and arrest Trumpers for ignoring them, and then go on every news show and hammer the message that Republicans are not above the law.
        • Go after Joe Manchin’s daughter for being part of the leadership of a company that price gouges people for prescription drugs until he starts voting the way the party wants him to.
        • Remove all of Kirsten Sinema’s committee seats so she can’t personally profit off of lobbyist cash, until she starts voting the way the party wants her to.
        • Refuse to support genocide. Revoke aid to Israel.
        • Have the president hold a press conference, every single day, Donald-style, where all he talks about are the things we can’t have because of the Republican-controlled Senate and hammer home the message that obstruction is the reason why food is becoming cost-prohibitive.
        • Revoke any federal contracts to gun manufacturers that sell AR-15’s to public vendors, and make it very publicly clear that he will do everything he can to bankrupt gun manufacturers who do.
        • Pressure RBG endlessly to retire while Obama has control of Congress.

        And that’s just off the top of my head.

        It’s astonishing that you’ve sat through six months of this presidency and you’re still able to gaslight yourself into believing that Dems had no power when they had the presidency and Congress. They just didn’t give enough of a shit to fight but the hardline fascists do.

        Christ, Biden’s presidency did nothing meaningful except make people poorer and angrier, and made himself out to be an egotistical, demented buffoon.

        With the benefit of hindsight? Raise hell, break away from Biden, and acknowledge that our economy is not fine.
