I’ve seen the need to point this out: Dems have had all 3 (of house, senate, presidency) for 4 years out of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton that goes to 6 years of the last 32 years. Want to add Bush senior? Then it’s 6 years of the last 36 years. Want to add Reagan? Then it’s 6 years of the last 44 years. That’s right, 6 years out of the last 44 years that Dems had control. And for filibuster proof majority they had 4 months of the last 44 years. Not years, 4 MONTHS of the last 44 fucking years.
And you want to ask why things haven’t happened?
If you want progress, give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.
If you’re happy with being hungry for hours before being given anything to eat, then good for you I guess? We can do better. Being kept hungry and given crumbs isn’t healthy, it’s positively abusive.
Honestly, no, it’s not. We should have had those things decades ago.

This is like blaming Obama for his terrible response to Katrina.

I’m not going to praise someone for doing something that should have and could have been done decades ago, no.

We should not do good things purely for the praise of others, we should do good things because they are the right thing to do.

So once the perfect moment has passed, might as well never try to catch up.
The best time to plant a tree was twenty years ago. The second best time is… fuck it, I’m just going to complain that there aren’t enough trees.
