    It’s not even refusing to play dirty. Liberals haven’t had all 3, POTUS, Senate, and House, at the same time in my lifetime.

    They were within a couple seats in Biden’s first 2 years. Manchin and Sinema gave Democrats a majority, but they still didn’t have a liberal majority. And with the extremely politicized SCOTUS, there are major limits to what liberals can accomplish.

    Not only that, but conservative propaganda works really well. It’s not even always policy. Identity politics are actively working against Democrats. So when something that is policy like immigration gets national attention, Democrats cannot afford to ignore it. If they do, THEY WILL LOSE to the people who are radicals.

      So you are less than 14 years old?

      2009-2011, they had all 4, POTUS, Senate (59 seats), House and SCOTUS.

      Seriously learn some damn history. And it’s extremely disingenious to claim that the Dems didn’t have all 3 from 2021-2023.

      Further the last time the GOP has had all 3 was in 2007. Yet, somehow they manage to get their agenda through.

        I’m 34.

        I said liberals not Dems.

        I said liberals not Dems.

        And learn some damn history yourself. Trump replaced 2 liberal justices which only requires POTUS and Senate. And we learned under Trump that it’s much, MUCH easier to hurt people than to help people. Thanks everyone who refused to vote for Hillary. You did this.

        You want change? Vote more liberals in. Don’t want change? Keep bitching.

          Yet again, with the disingenious bullshit.

          Liberals = Dems

          You just proved my point, dude. Look you don’t need all three branches to actual produce results for your base. The Dems don’t produce the results we want because they do not want to not because they’re powerless.

            Liberals = Dems

            If you think that, you probably shouldn’t talk politics. And it’s probably not worth the time to talk politics with you.

              I’ve got bad news for you. The democrats are indeed liberals, and so are the Republicans. Perhaps it’s you who doesn’t understand politics?
