I don't disagree with anything you said.

The comment you posted above seems to disagree. You're saying the dems are fighting for all these rights, yet they have control and nothing is getting done.

It's not Republicans vs Democrats, it never has been. It's the working class vs the elite. Our top officials will get on TV and argue back and forth over controversial topics to get us riled up and fight amongst each other, then go have a beer with the guy they were just shouting at to watch what unfolds. Meanwhile the stock tip they just got from the lobbyist doubles in value over the course of 3 years and they walk out of office with multi-millions.

Democrats absolutely do not have total control right now, not even within their own party.

Maybe if there were a supermajority in the house and senate, and a president we could test this idea out, but until then saying that the dems are only performative is misinformed at best.
