>Ok, that’s fine, republicans own the house. So what does that mean? We have to wait till the dems are in control of everything??
Have you been completely ignorant of GOP obstruction in the modern era? Yes, the Democrats need a majority to do almost anything because the GOP refuse to work with them. If they are not voted to a majority, you will receive no progress on anything other than enriching the rich, and broadcasting lies about fictional laptops.
Blaming the Democrats for not being able to put legislation through places where the GOP are in control is insane, and yet people do it constantly.

No, I understand that.
I think the guy up top that said at least a decade is probably correct.
Dems and republicans are one and the same. They are one and the same.
Here’s my states two democrats I get to keep in office every few years.
Rich guys doing rich guy stuff, it’ll never change.

They're demonstrably, blatantly not. To pretend otherwise is to promote voter apathy and enable the GOP's violent fascist rhetoric.
Are the Democrats "good"? - no, I'd like to have an actual progressive party that will do the necessary work to overturn corporate sponsorship of authoritarianism. Does that make them the same as the GOP? No. Members of the GOP are currently proposing, among other things:
- The abolition of all income taxation
- The abolition of all social spending
- The abolition of THE UNITED STATES
The Democrats may not be the party we want, but to call them the same helps only our enemies.

I live in Portland oregon, where I vote for some of the most liberal people in the country to hold office.
Yet, I can’t go to target down the street to buy diapers without stepping over needles. There’s over 6,000 homeless people on the street, and ravaging our public parks. Hearing gunshots is very normal now. So you tell me. Why are these “progressives” failing so hard to run a decent city?

To go with that link I shared. Blumenauer campaigned hard saying he was going to get that legislation passed. And to hear it didn’t go through, and see him “accidentally” purchase 15k in Raytheon stock right when they decide to fund Ukraine with weapons, leaves a salty taste in my mouth.
But I’ll vote for him every time, because he’s in the “better” party.
