“Did President Obama have “total control” of Congress? Yes, for 4 entire months. And it was during that very small time window that Obamacare was passed in the Senate with 60 all-Democratic votes.”
The healthcare bill written by Republican Mitt Romney that didn’t have universal healthcare and ended up being a handout to health insurance companies? That bill?
Were you not following the back and forth fight that went on back then for him to try to get anything through? Yeah it’s shit but it’s a lot better than the nothing there was. It was progress and if this country had actual adults in it instead of a bunch of emotional children and corrupt politicians then things could continue to progress.
The person you are responding to was probably still breast feeding during Obama’s presidency. So they’re likely completely unaware that before Obamacare millions of people just didn’t have healthcare and that Obama had to fight like hell with Republicans just to get it done.
117th Congress (2021–2023): Democrats gained control of the Senate (via Georgia runoffs) and held the House, paired with President Biden’s election.
The 4-Year Period: This 4-year stretch saw shifting majorities in the Senate, but the Democratic caucus maintained a working majority to control the legislative agenda from 2021-2023, while holding the House from 2019-2023, marking a four-year tenure of overall legislative
You said they had the house, senate, AND presidency for 4+ years. The house yes, presidency yes, senate no. Nothing becomes law without the senate. Your claim was not accurate.
Why weren’t they censured? Everything plays out EXACTLY like big business wants it. If you dont understand that corporations have nearly ful control of politics then we have nothing to discuss.
Here is the summary … both sides bow down to billionaires and corporations.
Sure rotating villain and all that. Yes generally both sides serve their corporate rulers, but the progressives still caucus with Democrats, so they’re slightly better and should always be voted for if the alternative is literal fascists. FPTP is the main problem in the electoral process.
You literally said dems havent had the House, Senate, and presidency … then posted the Biden era where he had the house, senate, and pres. You are acting and posting like AI.
This argument is either based on ignorance or bad faith.

Millions of people still don’t have healthcare under the ACA.
The ACA was based on a healthcare bill by Mitt Romney.
You’re literally using a republican bill passed by democrats as evidence for the parties not being the same.
Dont argue with me. Go argue with history …

Argue with Google. Not me. Biden had the house and senate.
You sound like AI.
Do you remember Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema? Remember how they kind of held up everything?
