    How, exactly, were they supposed to do these things without control of the government?

      They weren’t. My other main criticism of the democrats is how bad they are about publicizing when they do good things, but mostly their almost complete lack of pointing out where the republicans are being awful and fucking over the working class. There is so much material to go after the republicans on, and they do nothing with it. The republicans on the other hand will hammer on Dems all day long om shit that isn’t even real, get their base all riled up and angry to vote. If the Dems used people’s anger and upsettedness at the republicans to drive people to vote we wouldn’t be in the place we are today, they would have been able to have control of the government.

        I do agree that whoever writes talking points for Dems should have been fired and the land salted behind them like 20 years ago
