    Brother, I literally said there have been progressive executive orders and progressive agency moves in the second sentence and virtually all this is executive shit. The only thing I see from congress is the respect for marriage act, which was put in place as a wall to prevent backflow of civil rights that the Supreme court granted in Obergefell v Hodges. You may as well give credit to Neil Gorsuch in your effort to thank Democrats in Congress for writing the opinion that gave them the courage to act on something they should have done during the Clinton era.

      You can’t complain that a party with between 45 and 48 senators isn’t passing enough legislation. They literally don’t have the votes to pass legislation unless all of the stars align and Republicans forget to filibuster. By your logic you’re giving Republicans credit for not blocking that particular piece.

      Some of what I mentioned was a part of the massive Inflation Reduction Act which did a lot more than reduce inflation.

        I certainly can when my criticism isn’t that they’re not passing shit they don’t have the numbers for, but rather that they don’t stand for anything that isn’t already in the public mandate. Idk how many times it needs to be mentioned, apparently more times than I have patience for.
