Ah yes, the Democrats, who will do nothing because:
- Many of them will virtue signal on Twitter but are uninterested in actually challenging oppressive power structures as they exist.
- They have the slimmest of majorities, requiring either bipartisan support (lol) or the support of “moderate Democrats” whose positions are at best center-right. Republicans were in this position for the first two years of Trump, and they couldn’t get any signature legislative achievements but their tax bill passed. The same is likely to be true for Democrats this time around (a watered down stimulus bill passed through budget reconciliation).
- The American system of government is a vetocracy that leads to resentment over government’s inability to govern/keep promises made when campaigning.
- The complication of being beholden to corporate cash. Great ROI for Intuit and every other company that benefits from nothing substantially changing in America. Being beholden to corporate cash is the strongest form of bipartisanship in America.
