If we survive this time, two facts mustn't be forgotten: ① Corporate journalism couldn't tell the truth, that a madman was in the White House, and ② Democrats were never an opposition party.

You mean why they didn't filibuster the one reconciliation bill on the senate which was literally the only chance they had to stop the administration?

Because the government does a lot of stuff, like say, feeding poor people, providing healthcare to seniors etc. And when the reconciliation bill came through, trump was still broadly popular.

So, what you're asking is for the Democrats to hurt a lot of people until the Republicans simply changed the rules to remove that obstacle, which they have the power to do.

So, I guess the better question is, exactly how did you expect the Dems to stop these things? Be specific.

    You didn't even answer the question, let alone to any degree of specificity. Get lost, troll.

    My bad, I misunderstood your question and gave you too much credit.

    Your question is "why weren't the Dems a party for which I wanted to vote."

    And in reality, not all choices are ideal. When it came to the Presidential election, there were two options, vote Democrat or support trump by either voting Republican or abstaining.

    Enough people chose the latter and so here we are.
