    You’ve had 12 years of Democrat leadership with 4 years of Republican squished in there. Are things better now?

    Of course not.

    Things seemed pretty good with republicans in office to everyone. Now that the democrats are backed, everything’s quickly gone to shit again

        Remember when they got together and rewrote the tax code to help corporations? Remember when they pulled us out of the green new deal? Remember when buddied up to North Korea and Saudia Arabia? Remember when they told us to drink bleach and shove a light up our ass to stop the spread of covid? Remember when they handed out government loans to companies with zero regulation then forgave them? Remember when they put another sexual predator on the Supreme Court? Remember when one broke into the house of the minority leader and attacked her husband with a hammer? Remember when they marched with torches on Charlotte? Remember when they attacked the capital?

        The list goes on.

      Who the fuck thought things felt good when Trump was in office? When did we actually have a Democrat run government? Even right now GOP has thrown a wrench in everything. Who is it everytime the debt ceiling needs to be raised threatens to shut down the government? Even when Biden had the senate and house CONSERVATIVES stopped the Dems agenda. No, no, no, you don’t get to be obstructionists then say, “well why didn’t democrats stop us from shitting on Americans?”

      Get out, you fucking disgrace.

        When did we actually have a Democrat run government?

        The first two years of Obama is when Democrats controlled both houses and the white house. It’s the only reason we were able to get Obamacare and even then the Republican’s obstruction prevented a public option. Republicans even shut down the government trying to avoid paying for it.

      Are things better now?

      Yes they are actually. We’re out of the pointless war Bush started. Unemployment is at the lowest it’s been in decades. Obamacare is a first step toward socialized medicine. Infrastructure is finally getting properly funded and fixed. The largest road blocks have been that 4 years squished in the middle that saw tax cuts on the rich and the republicans in the Senate refusing to raise taxes on the rich.

          1. Right, our current metrics for prosperity in armerica are absolute shit. Economy, unemployment, and stock market mean nothing to the majority of Americans which are living pay check to pay check with 50 years of stagnation in wage increases.

          2. The poorest of Americans got fucked when the affordable care act got rolled out because red states REFUSED aid! All by design to undermine the policy.

          3. Democrats keep putting forward legislation to help infrastructure and the GOP keeps hiding behind a God damn self imposed culture war.
