    When Obama had the majority, what did Democrats spend their time and political capital on?

    Killing the public option and capitulating to republicans.

    Biden used his to deal with a pandemic fallout and he was at least attempting to solve a educational loan bubble.

    He was sure able to sell weapons to netanyahu without any problem at all. Bipartisan support, even. But codifying Obergefell wasn’t a priority.

    Keep in mind things like gay marriage and abortion were never in any immediate danger at any time.

    Which is why Roe was never overturned.

    Again, the democrats can be much much better,

    But they never will.

    I’m not saying the democrats did everything right, but the logic on incremental progress is correct vs tear it all down if it’s not a utopia already

    As opposed to taking credit for the work they didn’t fucking do.

    They had a majority under Obama and another under Biden. They had the opportunity to codify Obergefell. They chose not to. I wonder how upset they were that scotus did what they were unwilling to do because it wasn’t iNcReMeNtAl enough.

    If scotus hadn’t stepped in, democrats would still be fucking about with half-measures.
