Context is key. There are many political topics and policies that cannot even be discussed without a democratic majority in the house and senate. "Obamacare" was a republican compromise because anything more left or "liberal" would have been shot down immediately. Americans suffer because conservative republicans continue to hold back the country and slide the Overton window far too much to the right.
Democrats are unfortunately held back by conservative republicans and no no real progress can be made until the country shows significant support for more left-leaning candidates.
After 40 years, I'm not taking excuses.
Decade after decade, we've watched Democrats rule as conservatives. Stop giving them credit for their words. Give them rightful credit for their actions.
Even after 400 years, people can't do magic when the political system is such an utter mess that it doesn't allow them to do something.
