Except the left has policy that directly improves the material conditions of people. Free Healthcare polls overwhelmingly better than “means-tested subsidies for insurance through 50 different marketplaces where you have no idea what you will pay at any point”.
The people don’t have coherent ideologies, but they know healthcare, rent, school are too expensive and wages are too low.
It never happens because the right-wing dems oppose it more fiercely than they oppose republicans, and yall pledge to vote for them 2 years out anyway.
Do you think the republicans haven’t done anything of consequence? The US executive is literally one of the most powerful executives of any government, except like the gulf monarchies, France, and a few others.
Democrats only pretend to care about rules when it gives them a pretense to not do something that their base wants, but their donors don’t. Biden had no problem breaking rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel when congress deadlocked. Obama had no issues violating the sovereignty of a dozen countries
Exactly. So it’s never gonna happen because there aren’t enough progressives to get one elected with enough congress members to avoid getting it repealed.
If President Bernie wanted to make universal healthcare by executive order he’d be impeached and removed from office.

Yes, that has also been the case my entire life and yet it never, ever happens and it never, ever will.

Unless we replace the entire government too to bottom with progressives it is literally never going to happen.
Our system of government is designed not to change so it takes a hyper-majority to do anything or consequence.

To be more accurate: Democrats and progressives can’t get shit done because they still care about the rules.
Democrats only pretend to care about rules when it gives them a pretense to not do something that their base wants, but their donors don’t. Biden had no problem breaking rules to keep weapons flowing to Israel when congress deadlocked. Obama had no issues violating the sovereignty of a dozen countries

Which would serve to radicalize millions more Americans by showing them what a farce our democracy is.
It must be nice to be so oblivious to current events.
You’re right. If you play by the rules you can’t get shit done and the left insists upon it.
