    Republicans control the senate and Congress and even the Supreme Court. I think the Dems have had a limited window where they’ve had enough control. Not to mention when they have had some control they had members of their party like Sinema and stuff which have controlling votes.

      For some reason Republicans march in lock-step whenever they have power, but Democrats sabotage themselves with infighting. It happened when Obama had much larger majorities too - there’s always some Lieberman that gets in the way of the Democrat’s agenda. This doesn’t happen for Republicans, at least not nearly to the same extent. Doesn’t that strike you as strange?

        This is largely the crux of the divide. On the right they welcome anyone that doesnt oppose then fairly openly, whereas on the left people are so super critical of anyone that mightve been on their side that they push them away.

          And so the reason that Lieberman obstructed Obama’s agenda was because… the left was too critical of him? The reason Manchin and Sinema obstructed Biden’s agenda was because the left was too mean to them?

          Libs are right-wing. The dems welcome anyone who upholds the capitalist/imperial order. Politicians are completely united on that front.
