      While yes, they are doing some things, it ultimately doesn’t really matter. If someone’s house is on fire and the firefighter goes in for a minute, comes back out having done nothing, and says “Hoo, that’s hot - I’m out.” they’re not a good enough firefighter.

      Like, yeah, it’s hard to do what they signed up to do, but they’re the ones who signed up to do it, and in the case of politicians, they specifically went around making promises to be people to do it in order to get the job in the first place. Things need to get done, and they’re the ones occupying the position.

      I’m not a politician - I don’t know how hard the left needs to work in order to undo what the right has done, but I know that they said they’d do it, so I expect them to do it. Anything less makes them a liar at this point - we can’t afford mulligans this late in the game.

      Their strategy is failing and yet they both make zero changes and denounce anyone else from coming in to try something new. Regardless of whether it’s incompetence or malice, we need them out so we can get someone better in.

        Your point is that the party that isn’t in power can’t do anything, very insightful.

          It’s less and worse than nothing. It gives most people an idea that somebody is doing something about it. Not fully understand that it amounts to nothing. So that they are conditioned into not demanding a drastic, impactful action.
