The disgraceful Supreme Court justice should be held accountable for his actions but probably won't.

reality check... Trump's tax cuts passed.

Exactly! That alone is why it's very important to vote against the GOP and their gigantic tax cuts for billionaire elites.

What did you get from Democrats having both house and presidency,

Increased minimum corporate tax rate from 0% to 20%.

Increased subsidies for ACA

Tax Cuts for middle class. $2000 per person. Plus $200 per dependent per month.

Reduction in medicare drug costs

Reduction in student loans. Sabotaged by GOP Supreme Court.

Action on climate change.

...And Biden got all that stuff done with just one vote Dem majority in the senate, which included Manshin and Arizona lady who isn't even Dem anymore. If Dems had huge majorities, they could enable a flood of progress just like they did in the 1930's and 1960's.

The cope here is too strong today lol

The "both sides" nonsense is strong today lol. But still easily refuted by reality.
