Because the government is a terrorist state that sponsors genocide and the branches of that terrorist state sponsor terrorism globally.
"UWU the dems are just so powerless UWU!"
Funny, they seem to be able to do things just fine when it comes to genociding brown people or kneeling for the GOP
The Democrats had a generational supermajority after Obama was elected and they didn't do anything. Saying they always have an excuse is objectively correct.
Oh they did something. Obama dismantled his grass roots organization and starved state level democrats resulting in the loss of 1,000 seats across the country then gift wrapped two scouts seats and gave them to Satan.
Didn't the dems control the house and the senate for like 2 years after Biden was first elected? Which they used to do approximately jack and shit?
"Yeah but but Biden couldn't do anything because some democratic senators were going against the party!"
It's not like there's a party whip whose entire purpose is making sure congress falls in line with the rest of the party, especially if the party currently holds the executive. Biden definitely couldn't have threatened republican-voting senators with pulling their campaign funding or endorsements or brought their kids up on corruption charges.
Sorry, we just had to save all that political capital for getting Jill Stein off the ballot in Rhode Island.
But using the power of the executive to do good things would be wrong!
But but but! You're forgetting the Senate pastafarian!
"Get over yourself and elect a moderate Dem!"
5 minutes later
"We regret to inform you that moderate Dems are obstructing progressive reform"
Ah, but you need 60 seats in the senate to bypass the filibuster. And even though there are procedural workarounds, you need the blessing of the parlimentarian, a sacred and infallible office where it would be braking the sacred norms to use our powers to ignore them or replace them. /s
Republicans meanwhile are never powerless, they always get what they want. Weird system huh.
If Trump wins, he will dismantle all of America's institutions, declare himself God Emperor for life and genocide all minorities.
If Kamala wins, she won't be able to do anything unless the republicans let her.
Except genocide homeless people, undocumented people, and Palestinians, which she'll use her political acumen to achieve bipartisan consensus on.
no sweaty, this is not hard to understand!!
So, to get anything done, you'd need the Dems to always win every single election so they have complete control of the state? Sounds authoritarian
They also need to have a super-dooper majority and reach a bipartisan consensus with their good friends in the Republican Party, which America needs to be strong to have a healthy democracy.
And that’s how you get situations like California and New York. Dem supermajority for long periods of time and always finding some convenient excuse not to do anything good
As if this mf had ever heard of 'the Senate Parlamentarian' before that became a necessary excuse for the Biden administration
"tankies complain a lot!" "The system works but the problem is we don't have the power :smuglord: "
California. Democrats have had a super majority for as long as I can remember and nothing has changed but the date.
They are pushing the homeless into concentration camps though, so that's something.
When Trump is in power, the president is Dictator King and a threat to democracy.
When Biden is in power, the president is a mostly ceremonial role
This isn't even on the level of the political anymore lol, this is liberals grappling with The Problem of Evil
If the Democrats are loving but incompetent, why rely on them?
If they are competent and uncaring, why support them?
If they're loving and competent, then from whence comes evil?
Even when they had majority they don't do shit. How many people live in blue states where they don't even push basic shit. Biden did bypass congress on emergency sales to israel though several times
Didn't he flagrantly and openly violate the separation of powers to do it a few times, too?
Absolutely. Congress didn't seem to raise a fuss about it as much likely because they cosign it
It's a winner all around. President Crime Bill isn't going to be re-elected so he can do whatever the fuck he wants and they don't have to put their signatures on yet another extermination warrant.
Remember when Obama held every branch of government and did fucking nothing. Communists Remember, we are cursed, on and on, with the horrors of memory.
I don't need a supermajority of representatives to say "genocide is bad". Weird that the Democrats seem to still be unable 
Curated tumblr is undoubtedly one of the most insufferable subreddits on that accursed site. Practically every post on there is just "actually sweaty it's really privileged to be a radical leftist and not a feckless liberal. Against the status quo? Wow your privilege is showing" 
That same sub I saw em excuse biden going above and beyond for the genocide passing congress because they didn't want a multi front war against Hezbollah. Hows that working out? 
"why don't tankies just realise that the entire structure of the US government is set up to make it an institutionally fascist country and we can never improve it and that's ok"
You've reminded me why I stopped going on that subreddit.
Every other post on that sub is some shit like this, or weirdly common, a post about how men are such poor babies. There are so many posts that are like "I'm a woman and I hate feminists, men are actually angels and we should love them" and every comment is a man going "true!". It's really embarrassing
Real poli-sci/political history heads know that the Federal Government was designed to not work so that white people could murder, steal, and enslave nonwhite people freely without interference and if you wanted to do something else with it you needed 90% of the population to support it.
They don’t want power, nor do they want to criticise power. They just want someone of their preferred party to be able to profit by insider trading.
At what point do redditors have to start considering that the reason dems won't enact good policies is that they don't want to?
