    They were lied to about tariffs, just like you Democrats were lied to about student loan relief and living wages.

    Both of you act aghast when you get exactly what you voted for.

      The last time the democrats were in office they did absolutely everything they could for student debt relief. They were blocked at every step by Republicans.

        You just sat through the last nine months and you honestly believe that?

        Everything they could do?

        More like they made every excuse they could possibly make.

        You are mistaken or lying to yourself.

          You’re not going to catch me simping for the DNC but just lying is a pretty useless thing to do, FlashMob.

            It’s not lying to expect Democrats to fight as hard for doing the things they promise as the Republicans are fighting to drive us to full-on fascism.

            And you making excuses for it is absurd after watching what’s happened in the US for the last nine months. Democrats always had all the power they needed. They just didn’t care about anything other than enriching themselves.

              Yeah, I feel like I’ve always been told, “the president doesn’t actually have that much power” and that they could try hard for four years and accomplish maybe one or two things. Turns out no president before the current one was trying very hard.
