    No, I’m saying it’s ridiculously dumb that people thing democrats are heroic saviors when they do the bare minimum and maintain the status quo. I’m making fun of the trend that “if it weren’t for republicans the US would be a utopia”. But thanks for the strawman I guess.

      No one is making that claim. “If it weren’t for Republicans, the Democrats could pass useful legislation” is absolutely the case.

      You say this immediately after using a straw man…

        If it weren’t for Republicans, Democrats would find another excuse for not wielding the power we give them.
