Is there any set of circumstances where dems would ever take meaningful, organized action against The Party?

They had a Congressional majority for two years LIB

Since you evidently don't understand how the government works, both Congress and the Senate have to pass a bill for it to become law. The Senate is intentionally designed to give conservatives more power.

I was going to vote for Biden but now I won't because you acted with such brutal incivility. This is the most important election of our lives; democracy itself is on the ballot and you are turning people away from the polls before they've even opened. You are handing Trump the keys to the White House; you are ushering in the dark tide of fascism. Enjoy the next election, you have made it our last.

Yeah, it’s call a bicameral legislature. I was filling out my elementary school study guide, so I appreciate the reminder.

Huh, sounds like an indefensibly stupid and evil system we have here when millions of lives are on the line. Best to throw it out.

Doesn't understand that liberal politicians only exist as controlled opposition to conservatives

"You don't understand how government works" smuglord

lmao

Why's Biden 'negotiating' title 42 back into existence for them then? Why did he never codify Roe like he said he would, or completely fold on COVID when he could have taken numerous steps well within the 'acceptable' periphery of the powers of his office to do so?

Maybe they're just another corporatist party that keeps the mask on a bit better in public (as long as it's not an N95 one, anyway)
