First off, the Democrats only had a majority for two years during Obama’s 8 years. Second, they have zero leverage over Sinema who’s not even running as a Democrat in the next election. Third, the liberal and progressive majority of the party hasn’t had a majority in congress for over a decade. The democrats are a big tent party that currently has to appeal to all non fascists, so of course there are conservatives in the party.
There’s a solid grain of truth to your assessment, as far too many Democrats aren’t willing to do what is necessary to prevent fascism from taking over. They make numerous mistakes. However, to paint all liberals as being against raising taxes on the rich and funding social programs is inaccurate. Some do believe social programs are necessary to maintain the government, capitalism, or liberal democracy. It’s not great, but it is better than neoliberalism.
