(53,784 posts)the rich and corporations. You do know that the repugs control all branches of government now and obstructed Obama for eight years by stopping all Democratic proposals to tackle infrastructure and the good jobs that would bring.
The Dems were able to get thru health care but only a watered down measure could pass because of the repugs, and they have been trying to tear it down ever since as they do anything that helps the non-rich.
And as far as the Democratic Party isn't trying hard enough as you say, if they don't have majorities in the House and Senate, they can't bring bills to the floor to vote on and into law. Go back and study some civics and then get back to me.
Also, get out and vote for Democrats to take over control of at least the House in Nov. and then we'll be able to get beneficial measures to the floor and voted on. Only the party in the majority can do that. It sounds like you don't know that.
