    I mean, not really. We keep waffling between 45/55% of our government being controlled by fascists.

    If 45% of the governing body is still fascist, that makes it kinda hard to actually do anything when most of our government requires more than a simple majority to get things done.

    Just look at Trumps approval rating right now. It’s still not below 40%.

      Merrick Garland didn’t need Congress to do his job. Biden didn’t need Congress to pressure Garland to do his job. Stop making excuses for their inaction.

        I agree that Biden is going to go down in history as a bad president for not doing more to prevent the current state of things, but when half the country keeps voting for facisim the problem isn’t just the politicians.
