If you become skilled at writing articles to even slightly plausibly blame the outcomes of Republican conservative policies on Democrats, you can develop this into an extremely lucrative career.
And if you become skilled at ignoring all the things Democrats actually do when they have power to plausibly act like their rhetoric matches their policy, you can develop that in to lots of Internet points.
Bill Clinton absolutely bears a huge amount of responsibility for Trump. Both because he helped create the material conditions that made Trump viable, but also because he and Hillary used their influence over the party to stuff every position power from local precincts to the DNC chair with devotees of their Third Way Neoliberal Ghoul politics to ensure the party would never correct course or fix the damage they’d done.
Last time they were in power they gave tens of millions of americans access to healthcare. You can say it’s bad because it’s bad access, bad healthcare, it’s bare minimum, and yada yada, but millions of people alive today who wouldn’t otherwise, and that’s not nothing.
Power these days generally means government trifecta. 2009 was indeed the last time Dems had that. 2010 had it lose congress majority, the I believe 2018 had it lose SCOTUS majority.
“Democrats don’t do shit” because their governance is more stable (at least compared to Trump-era Republicans) which means it’s more boring which means stupid people don’t pay attention and then just ASSUME nothing is happening.
We really needed Bidens presidency to not be boring. He should have been aggressively cleaning house to wipe the insurrectionists out. Instead he sat on his hands while the DOJ pissed around and accomplished nothing. If he’d done his job Trump wouldn’t have been an option for the next election.

Jokes on you, Demarcates don’t do shit when they’re in power.

Obamacare? Democrats have been in power since then.
Wait, do you think “in power” means whoever is the president?

No.
So you didn’t pay attention during Biden’s term?
They do, a lot happens. You just don’t pay attention.
Democrats don’t do shit. Republicans do evil shit. Take your pick.

It wasn’t as if the public weren’t urging him to either, many of them were. Spot on observation
That’s completely incorrect. When Dems are in power they complain… that they don’t have the power to fix anything.
They also get bent for the MAGAts while putting on a sad face.
Healthcare coverage expanded under Obama, so yeah, he was correct.

And get plenty of attention around these parts.
Republicans are innocent, it was the mean ol’ Dems that did everything.
