    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.

      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.

        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happen because there aren’t enough progressives to get one elected with enough congress members to avoid getting it repealed.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.

        It must be nice to be so oblivious to current events.
