Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting this. It’s a news report, not an opinion piece.
Sigh, why do people think things like this?
Democrats’ failure to secure widespread student loan relief or legalize marijuana has been disappointing, Evans said, adding that Republicans’ more aggressive approach when they have power means they are “actually getting things done.”
Yes, they are getting bad, regressive, anti-progress, harmful things done. That isn’t what we want. Meanwhile, when Democrats are in power, Republicans think their job is to prevent Dems from accomplishing anything so they can point and say “see! They didn’t do anything!”.
That’s politics. Elected democrats don’t have to play nice with Republicans, and yet…

It is this. Everyone kept saying why is the Democrat Manchin stopping everything we want. Not why are ALL the Republicans voting against everything we want.
Republicans are they ones who stopped student loan forgiveness. And Republicans are the ones to take rights away for women, LGBTQ, minorities, and workers. They are right now trying to stop people from voting because they know when large amounts people vote, they lose.
Alabama right now had the Supreme Court tell them that African Americans deserved more representation in the congressional maps. The Republicans said No, we will still draw the maps so we win and the African Americans will not.
Not that surprising, the 1990’s saw a large drop in black voter turnout also
There is a difference though between midterms and Presidential elections. Midterms are always brutal because no one ever shows up for them. It’s a chore to get 50% of the people to get out for midterms, which really are equally as important as Presidential elections
the article has a lot of good points - a single Biden term is all the country can stand. can we get someone younger than age 50 as President? would be a nice change.
I’d love to see younger candidates, for sure. That being said, I’ll happily vote Biden again any day of the week given that the alternative is a Republican and likely Trump. Not an option in my world.
I wish
Give us another Obama ffs, it can’t be this hard, they pulled Obama up from nowhere and made him President. I don’t know why the DNC keeps supporting people who basically have one foot in the grave and barely know where they are half the time
