This is a cop out answer. When Republicans are the majority they get everything they want, when Republicans are the minority they get everything they want. There’s 2 possible reasons, and it’s likely both. Democrats are complicit in what Republicans are doing, and/or they are completely ineffective in governing. Either way they don’t represent the working class and need to be abandoned
I forgot the Republicans wanted the CHIPS Act, Inflation Reduction Act, ACA, Lina Khan as head of FTC, etc. etc. They definitely didn’t attempt to block all of those because they get everything they want, always.
There’s a third option: making things better is slow and complicated, but tearing things down is fast and easy.
Was literally the renegotiated and severely cut down version of the Build Back Better Act.
ACA
Was filibustered for years and only passed in reconciliation as a watered down version filled with pork for private insurance.
Lina Khan as head of FTC
21 Republican senators voted to affirm her…
The problem with Democrats is that there are always around 3-4 of them that will reliably vote with Republicans on most issues. The build back better deal was killed by Joe manchin and krystin simea. The ACA was allowed to be fillibustered to death by a couple pro life senators for years. All these bills were already watered down to entice Republicans before they hit the floor, Republicans still refuse to play ball every time, and the next bill Democrats still fall over themselves to reach across the isle every bill.
The DNC is just unwilling to whip their party members into shape like the Republicans.
Claiming progress is slow is also a copout. The oligarchy loves for people to believe that progress takes time. The moments that have had the biggest impact on society, that benefited the working class did not take time. They like you to believe in incrementalism so that you don’t see that those small little baby steps are marching to the right
ACA was literal Republican legislation, it’s just Romneycare at the federal level. That Dems celebrate this as a victory is exactly what folks are talking about when they say “Republicans always get what they want.” When Biden came out against universal healthcare because he felt the need to protect ACA, I knew I had been played.

Could you name some of those moments?
Ok

ACA was Romney’s bill.
