    So there’s something that renders democrats completely incapable of ever stopping republicans from doing anything? Bc otherwise they’re just liars and collaborators, no other explanation for trying to meet actual fascists in the middle and never doing fuck all to stop them

      It’s always odd to see how the ones that know the least are the ones that are also the most confident… and insufferable

        I’ll take that as a “no, democrats just choose not to ever stop republicans from fucking things up” unless you can explain why they don’t (“republicans won’t let us” isn’t an explanation, unless it’s somehow codified that democrats have to support republicans)

          FYI, it’s no on else’s job to educate you. And that’s not the attitude one learns with

          That said, gets my take: there’s three branches of government. All three have been relatively compromised. To your main question, Congress controls legislation and it’s been compromised because it over-represents a specific demographic (read: mostly white people places with relatively low populations). And well, American whites are a special bunch. The executive branch is compromised in a large part for the same reason - the pres is elected via electoral college which again over-represents white (I mean, wtf is there two Dakotas? We barely need one and they get 4 senators even though only 5 people live in each state).
