Because the Dems agenda requires 60 votes due to filibusters. Mainly because Dems want to spend money on social services. Where as the GOP’s agenda just involves a bunch of cuts. That can all be done through reconciliation.

And the GOP has either had a majority in the senate or a tie for the last 10 years.

I tried to do ban evasion. They most likely have my internet footprint. So wack.

I got perma banned from Reddit, now I’m here. Somehow, this place is even more tankie than that place. It seems like any forum is either Marxist Bernie Bro Echo Chamber or a Racist MAGAT one.

I’m solidly on the left as a liberal, but it seems like neither side knows how civics or federal politics works.

Unironically, these guys are more performative than the Dems they bash 😂

So it accomplished nothing. Whatever they were voting on will continue without them.

Trump has completely gutted the NLRB

Dude you’re fighting an uphill battle in this echo chamber. These guys simply don’t live in reality.

Then why could he never win a primary?

Get in trouble for what?

What impeachment process? They don’t have the votes? You can’t convict the president without a 2/3 majority in the senate.

Tell us then.

They never can. They’re just bullshitting

What performative actions did republicans congressman do that stopped Dem’s agenda?

Dems can only stop non budgetary bills by invoking the filibuster. Any reconciliation bill is going through regardless of what Dems want.

Trump has only done a bunch of illegal EOs. Which are being taken up in the courts, but he dosen’t care and is doing them anyways.

You’re on lemmy bro, people just want performative shit to make themselves feel good. Congress do not hold executive power, they’re literally just a vote.

What did this accomplish?

True, but Green can still vote. But this whole yelling thing isn’t gonna change anything.

What did this accomplish?

I’m disagreeing. Even though Clinton was the last president to decrease the debt when he left office.

But as a liberal, I’m not worried about the National Debt if they’d just cut military spending, which is like saying you wanna kill a baby now, since 9/11.

We need forgiveness from China, not tariffs.

Bill Clinton’s success was the beginning of the end of bipartisanship in Federal politics. He made the economy as strong as it had been since the 50s and was the last president to leave office with less national debt. He wouldn’t have been able to do so without Republicans voting for his policies.

GOP strategist saw this, and pretty much since have went out of their way to block any potential progress from a Democratic president to keep them closer to unpopularity.

Obama was the first Dem to be a victim of this. But that guy could negotiate his ass off and was able to bounce back from the 08 recession rather quickly and ended his term with a positive economy.

Biden was too damn old to fight back or compromise, and didn’t have nearly as many votes as Obama to ignore the GOP with his reconciliation bill.

If more people online actually knew about civics and the inner working of political strategies, they’d realize just how much progress the GOP has blocked within the last 30 years.

Yeah social media has been a gift and curse. Not the internet as a whole. People having the ability to find more critical thinking political discussion online is great.

Only problem is, the right online is like FOX News on steroids.
