Except the Dems have controlled the house, Senate and Presidency since 2009...
I mean. 2021-2023 Biden had House and Senate majorities...
Did I miss something?
Was it that as soon as we had a majority just enough Dems said they wouldn't vote with the party? And then party leaders saying "welp, trying would be pointless"?
Is that what I missed?
Don't get me wrong, it should work the way your meme makes it sound. But unfortunately the rich bought out both parties awhile ago.
It's why Biden and the DNC have their PAC, the Biden Victory Fund, that coordinates directly with the candidate and party, and you can give up to a million!
Like fucking clockwork. Goddamn you're so predictable.
There's a reason the right have earned the label of the poorly educated. This guy doesn't realize a simple majority in the senate isn't enough to move legislation.
It's covered endless in the political news cycles but morons cannot retain the information and spout the most banal nonsense as if they're uncovering some grand conspiracy that they aline have discovered.
If such people could feel shame they would still spread their bullshit because they don't realize how far down left side of intelligence the curve they are.
It would be entertaining if they weren't voters.
Democrats could have changed that any time they had control of the Senate with a simple majority vote.
They chose not to.
this is an "i'm rubber you're glue" moment for the ages
That makes no sense. But nice try.
people whining that obvious criticisms of biden are made "like clockwork" while offering absolutely no counterclaim happen "like fucking clockwork", because goddamn, you're so predictable.
Nah, you're just stupid enough to fall for the posters bs. He's got a long history of spreading misinformation and propaganda. But go ahead and keep drinking that kool aid champ.
circling the wagons and ignoring any criticism of democrats come hell or high water because their only possible source is clandestine trump supporters IS drinking the kool aid
Ironic.
i agree
Everywhere I see you, you’re fabricating facts.
Democrats have controlled the Senate and the House for six years since 2009.
Only four of those years included a Democratic President.
They were two, non-consecutive two-year terms, a decade apart, with different Presidents.

Another day, another fascist account to ban
They play both sides so that even when we win, we lose.
We just try to lose less.
Trying to win means votes too....
It cost Biden over a billion last election to barely win, this year they're predicting it will cost 2 billion
The reason we're told we're tuck with bad candidates who take corporate money, is it costs that much to win and the only way to get is billionaires and corporations...
But that's not true, only "moderates" need that to win.
Jimmy Carter didn't need it. Bill Clinton didn't need it, Obama didn't need it...
Bernie was able to run a competitive primary against Hillary without it too.
I don't know why people act like Hillary and Biden are normal, they're terrible candidates voters don't like, but we don't have a say in it anymore. The DNC took Biden on a victory lap before the majority of states even voted.
Shit was still bad 20/30 years ago, but it wasn't as bad as the last decade.
Like, I've never understood the rationale that because trump is so dangerous, we had to run candidates that voters from both parties strongly dislike.
That’s why I’m voting Trump.
