Clinton signed into law a whole raft of neoliberal policies that were started by Bush, and the cumulative effects of those policies over those decades are what we’re feeling right now and what we warned about back then. The frogs have been boiled while the populace bickers about which neoliberal corporate shill sits on the puppet throne. They’re after all our money and they’re getting it by distracting us with the political circus and dividing us with wedge issues.
H. W. actually fought against the Reaganomics himself, so while the two didn’t agree on foreign policy there wasn’t much that had to be undone between Bush and Clinton.
The last time there was a Dem Supermajority was over a decade ago and it lasted about a month.
And the Supreme Court is stacked with Republicans with lifetime appointments. That supreme court has been taking bribes and they can’t be removed without a supermajority vote.
But yes the blue currently in power that tried multiple times to cancel student loan debt, enshrine reproductive rights, protect and expand healthcare coverage, raise the minimum wage. The current blue that successfully ended several huge corporate mergers, fined companies for raising prices of goods, and has a housing plan to add 3 Million available units. Literally everything the meme cares about and more is as simple as voting correctly for your interests.
All spending bills have to originate in the republican controlled house. Anything the administration tries to do on it’s own has to survive a heavily politicized Supreme Court. A Supreme Court that would be radically different without the Trump presidency. We’ll be dealing with those Trump appointees for a generation and they’ll do far more harm than he ever did. Not enough people voting blue in 2016 is going to have very long lasting consequences.

Hillary’s people trying to shove her down America’s throats and propping up trump in the primary because he was the only one she had a chance to beat is going to have very long lasting consequences.
And letting those same people run Kamala’s campaign and still the DNC is still fucking shit up.
When the only metric for DNC leadership positions is how much bribe money from billionairestotal legit donations we shouldn’t be surprised the party and chosen candidate keep favoring money over votes
Rather than yell at voters to accept it, maybe we should restructure the DNC so the people in charge know how to win an election against a candidate as terrible as trump?
Edit:
And for a fair comparison, trump also had 2 years with both houses than one split.
And? What does 21-23 have to do with who is “currently in power”? And how many SC justices has Biden appointed?
Maybe you should read the entire conversation, it’s not long, instead of knee-jerking to one comment.
Edit: You know how you “restructure” the DNC? You show the fuck up. The average local office would only need 5-6 people regularly showing up, every meeting, not just the last few months before a presidential election, to shift resources and voting recommendations to more progressive primary candidates.
Because most of the ones still in office right now (obviously including Biden) were also in office during the 117th Congress when Dems held both majorities?
But this doesn’t feel like it’ll be productive for some reason.
Still don’t know how that makes 21-23 “current.” Just going to double-down on refusing to read the comment chain and make it about what you want, are you?
Not the case but nice try, random person from the internet
I’m not even an American. To my knowledge, democrats are currently in power. Other guys did a good job explaining the actual situation, you on the other hand…
Then you should have voted blue, idiot. This situation exists because of apathy and antigovernment sentiment.
Did Clinton ever undo all the load of crap Reagan and Bush gave us?
Clinton was 30 fucking years ago and Republicans have been stonewalling ever since then on every since one of these issues.
What the fuck are you talking about about???

Clinton is one the few presidents in the last 100 years that has operated on a SURPLUS. Meaning he’s the only president to lower the national debt

uhhhh, the blue that’s currently in power?
House is 220 R to 212 D
Senate is 51 D (+I) to 49 R

Holding one of three branches is not “in power.”

Are you aware of who controlled the House, Presidency, and Senate from 2021-2023?

You don’t understand the government or its current state but confidently commented on it.
Oh that’s not cool of me, when did I do that?
