As far as I know democrats were pushing healthcare, and forgiving student loans. US has enough money for all of those

I’ve posted this recently, but when your party has both the house and the senate plus the presidency and you don’t do what you said, they are just campaign lies and you never intended on it. The other side being bad too doesn’t make the democrats good, just maybe slightly less aweful.

so um. do you think one party controls all three of those right now???

And when did this happen?

Both under Obama and Biden the Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency. They promised and then did nothing for abortion, immigration, or any of the other things they “promised.” Do I need to Google proof??? Did you forget the last ten years? Ok, so now the republicans have the house, but for the last two years the democrats had everything. What did we get from that????

The plutocracy have been in control the entire time. Ever wonder why the rich don't pay taxes? Why congress gets to insider trade with 0 repercussions? It's a big club and we ain't in it.

Dude your own proof disproves you.

Nope, it’s a reading comprehension thing on your part. Democrats had the house, senate, and presidency in both the 111th and 117th Congress.

2009 - 2011 (111th Congress Period- two actual years) Barack Obama- President- Democrat, Nancy Pelosi- Speaker of the House- Democrat, Harry Reid- Senate Majority Leader- Democrat. Biden, Chuck Schumer, and Nancy Pelosi were the 117th Congress which just ended.

For like two weeks 10 years ago.

Reading comprehension?? Two years, not weeks, twice in the last decade. Literally the last two years and for two years under Obama.
