      Are you saying Republicans aren’t obstructing any kind of legislation, including their own?

        No, I’m saying it’s ridiculously dumb that people thing democrats are heroic saviors when they do the bare minimum and maintain the status quo. I’m making fun of the trend that “if it weren’t for republicans the US would be a utopia”. But thanks for the strawman I guess.

          No one is making that claim. “If it weren’t for Republicans, the Democrats could pass useful legislation” is absolutely the case.

          You say this immediately after using a straw man…

            If it weren’t for the republicans the democrats would have an actual opposition party instead of a death cult to contend with

            If it weren’t for Republicans, Democrats would find another excuse for not wielding the power we give them.

          If enough young adults actually voted so that the Repubs would be guaranteed to never win with a Trump candidate, the entire apparatus would have to move left.

          Instead, young adults sit it out or throw votes away because of bothsidesing. So the brainwashed Fox News viewers (who actually will vote in every election) have been moving the whole thing rightward instead.

      I get the sense that people mistook the sentiment behind your comment.
