If Democrats ever get back into power, they'll get yelled at for not fixing all this shit fast enough.
You mean like how they fixed the corporate tax rate, where Trump took it from 35% to 21%, and Biden campaigned on raising it to 28%, before ultimately not raising it back at all?
anything biden wanted to do would have required significant support from republicants in the senate. 60 votes for cloture, i.e. avoid or end a filibuster and bring the matter to a vote. at least for now it's still 60--and 60 is not needed to revise or eliminate that. i suspect they'll "need" to do just that in order to ram the really bad shit through congress.
I don't see a problem with that. They're not doing much that matters right now and now's the time to find their balls. There are a few saying the right things but we still had an illegal alien from South Africa holding a press conference from the Oval Office while his little kid mouthed off to the supposed President who in turn mostly just sat there making weird twitching motions.
You actually believe Democrats are going to fix this? hahahaha
