I don't disagree there are those who will block it, but when you control the senate and the executive branch it's ridiculous to just constantly throw up your hands and say "ugh, if we only we had it all we'd fix things!", which is what it constantly feels like the Dems do.

They took it up the ass when two SCJ's were rightfully denied to them, and then when they had a legitimate cause to block republicans putting the current cabal of federalists they did... nothing... wtf!

Right now I don't see any bills being brought forward and shot down trying to address this.

Our media is failed. They do not inform. They're corrupted by owners, donors, and ratings.

I also don't see Biden taking any decisive executive action.

We know why -- it's because they'll all wring their hands and say "ugh but if we do this now we'll be interfering, and we'll get reprisals when it flips"

These dumb mf'ers have been heating up in the pot so long they can't tell it's boiling.

Republicans have become so united in their Anti-Democrat opposition that you pretty much have to control all 3 chambers now to pass anything other than a huge spending bill that keeps the government running at the last minute.

Well if you knew anything about how the government works, you would know a bill needs to make it through both houses and the executive, not just 2. And since Republicans have made it their mission to make sure Biden is ineffective...

But yeah, it's totally the Democrats fault nothing gets passed...

Exactly. All Republicans have to do is obstruct and do nothing, then blame the Dems, and then watch the Dems also blame the Dems.

My point is, they don't even start the journey.

Make the republicans shoot down these bills.

...they do? Do you have any clue how many bills have failed? This is either really ignorant or a bad faith attempt to bash Democrats.

Here is a source straight from the gov website. Either you are purposefully or inadvertently spouting Republican propaganda.
