Yeah one thing I’ve observed is Americans constantly complaining that Democrats aren’t doing anything. There’s a belief that the opposition party can somehow stop a party that controls all branches of government.

They can’t. They no longer have power. Anything they do is completely performative. You’re complaining about a performance in a meaningless play while the people in power are dismantling your country and destroying people’s lives.

This is what Americans voted for. Didn’t think their vote mattered but it really did.

When Democrats have power they can’t do anything, when Republicans are in power everything they want done gets passed by Democrats.

Yeah Democrats are willing to make compromises to keep government working. That’s what’s supposed to happen in a democracy.

The problem is the GOP is anti-democracy. They do not make compromises to keep government working. They act like gangsters. But people keep on saying the Democrats are the problem anyway and keep on voting for the anti-democracy gangster party.

America seems to just hate democracy now. Why else would you continue to blame the pro-democracy party after the anti-democracy party got voted in? You’ve been conditioned to hate anything that resembles democracy.

That’s my biggest gripe with Lemmy users.

The Republicans had no problem stopping the show when they were the minority party in all branches.

Yeah, somehow Mitch McConnell gummed up the works at every turn.

Democrats need to figure out how to do that.

A country that’s known for pillaging/genociding the native, using slavery and ravaging other countries for profit is now pillaging the one’s they convinced are living in the “greatest country in the world”.
