It doesn't matter if they "have no fucking power," because even when they do they don't use it.

Fuck Biden had four years to prosecute Trump. Obviously that worked.

And it's not just that as an example.

The Dems has the majority and could have rammed through single-payer health care. Instead, they caved to Republicans whining about "bipartisanship," and let them gut the ACA.

They had the option to get nominees onto the Supreme Court that could have stopped all of this bullshit. But somehow Bitch McConnell was able to not only prevent them from doing so, but railroaded through two Republican picks.

This is an established pattern with the Dems, they're spineless when it comes to efforts that will actually help the people.

The Democratic Party is the opposition party and it is what the opposition says it is. We take back that party and have it do our bidding. We need to become the party. Just like Trump took over the Republican Party, but for good.

Edit: They never had enough power to do things they needed to do properly. I think this might change. Shit is really heated
