Don’t you see the game they’re playing with you? All those things listed in the thread they haven’t passed. It’s not because one party wants it any other party doesn’t. It’s because they both don’t want them and they play the game of “we don’t have enough votes“. It’s like how Obama could’ve codified roe versus wade in the law, but never did.

He says while confronted with a list of every Democrat voting for important things, and important things ultimately not passing because Republicans block it.

> It’s not because one party wants it any other party doesn’t

It's literally only that. You can look at their voting records.

Obama had a 2 month window of a supermajority, which he used to push the biggest healthcare reform the US has ever seen.
