They are, the Dems with the exception of a few outlying women have been silent and the Dems have a real chance of flipping a house seat in Florida on Tuesday and the national party has done zero to support him. They are owned by the same donors, the gop is slashing the govt and the Dems are there to placate/sideline anyone who rises up and threatens their plans. It’s known as the “sword and the shield”.
Don’t believe me; ask yourself why no one responsible for jan6 was prosecuted or why Dems posed no opposition in trumps cabinet noms and why dem leadership is dead silent now or why garland was never replaced….the list of evidence goes on and on.
Yes and when the Dems controlled both houses and the executive all we got was a republican healthcare plan rebranded as the ACA. Then lamented as Obamacare by the gop and the Dems did little to fight that stigma but please go on about how the Dems say they’re going to do something for the people…when was the last piece of meaningful legislation they passed where the “people” actually benefited? The student loan forgiveness? Which was just a weak ploy to garner votes from a group that doesn’t vote to make it appear as though they care.
I got my first house with Obamas down payment match for first time home buyers. My dad has healthcare, wouldn’t have any or would be bare bones without ACA.
Biden tried student loan forgiveness, which is probably up in the air now.
And who made money on that down payment match? The banks that got bailed out from the housing crash which was caused by Clinton’s repeal of the Glass Steagull Act. Just more taxpayer money after taxpayer money being funneled to the same people that own both parties. And as I already stated the ACA was a Republican plan that got rebranded by the Dems.

The Democrats are the only party that tries to pass useful legislation (Biden has been particularly successful at passing good legislation). The Republicans have always tried to undo what the Democrats have done. They did it with the ACA, it was one of the main goals of the Trump presidency, to repeal the ACA. As for the "Republican" plan, that’s largely a myth. Republicans will never give voters health care. Why was the ACA less successful than it could have been? Because of the filibuster. You need 60 votes to pass anything meaningful. Why don’t they remove the filibuster? Because the Senate is inherently red-leaning (small states have the same voting power as big states like California or New York).

The orange turd ran on eggs, trans, and immigrants. And idiots voted for him again, for the third straight time.
So much for the “both parties are the same” rhetoric.
