When Democrats are in office, they delay *some* of the Republican agenda (temporally) but do not address these larger issues.

A super majority is required to address these issues anyone pretending otherwise is being disingenuous or has been tricked into ignorance.

Even when we get a blue majority, there are always a couple of Democrats that impede progress.

Those examples are of people voting against the Democratic Party. But you conveniently group them with the democrats they vote against.

Some specific examples of people who voted with republicans is Sinema and Fetterman. Both of which ran as progressives. According to your logic we should be blaming all progressives for their actions and using it as an excuse to let Trump take over the world.

The fact of the matter is that the GOP will run their own candidates as democrats to get in office in districts that are blue then their candidate will vote against the Democratic Party. For example, Manchin. The GOP will then leverage this to claim both sides are the same and trick leftists into letting the government move further right by not voting. This works on leftists who are too oblivious to notice that these “democrats” are voting against the Democratic Party.

So now we have far right extremists running all parts of the government because leftists have been tricked so easily into believing that both sides are the same by the GOP and foreign bots that benefit from Trump being in office.
