      DNC wants to tax the rich, fund everyone’s healthcare, ban lobbying, draw fair election maps, protect the rights of minorities, stop climate change, and protect the right to worship whatever you want.

      If they had the authority to pass everything on their platform, if they had a trifecta and 60 senators for the first time since 1979 and a bunch of conservative SCOTUS judges croaked so we could replace them, then the USA would be further left than more than half of the EU.

          They’ve literally done more than half of these things and Republicans make a career out of tearing it down at every opportunity.
