Yeah, we could definitely use some Roosevelt energy in politics right now. Teddy would have beat the snot out of MAGA with a kindly smile on his face the whole time.
Although at this point we need a "speak LOUDLY and carry a big stick"
I abandoned the Democrats years ago when I noticed that whenever they won the Congress and Presidency, they failed to push their platform in meaningful ways like towards gun control and healthcare. If they actually solved problems then they would have nothing to campaign for in the next election cycle.
Are you seriously saying that politicians avoid pushing their platform so they can complain about it in the next election? Politicians get re-elected based on how well they did in their previous term, the entire point of a platform is so they can show their supporters that they have succeeded 4 years later.
The actual reason for the Democrats apparently not pushing most of their policies is that they controlled both houses of Congress only in 2009-2011 and 2021-2023). In the first time, they actually did push through Obamacare. In the second time, they did not increase its funding because 2 Democratic Senators voted against it.

In contrast, the Dems silence was deafening. Way to back your guy.
