Buddy, I'm not content with "better than Republicans". The Republicans are getting worse every year and Democrats are happy to follow closely behind.

Diverting any of the efforts that went into passing the ACA to stuff like codifying roe v wade or staging a big crackdown on wallstreet most likely would have ended up with the ACA getting axed.

You're free to believe that. I believe they intentionally dragged it out specifically so they wouldn't have to deliver anything else. Because most Democrat politicians are pro-corporate trash who are enabling the drift into fascism if not outright facilitating it.

You shouldn't be content with just "better than Republicans" that's how we get progress. That said, I still think you're overstating how bad the democrats are. Yes, on some issues, they fold to corporate pressures and I'm not happy about that. In many other areas they are hamstrung by obstructionism and having to appeal to a big tent voter base; this is unavoidable until the republican party becomes irrelevant and the dems can split. There are plenty of areas however where they're making incredible progress, here's a list of stuff that the Biden admin has done just in 2023: https://www.reddit.com/r/WhatBidenHasDone/comments/11lohnc/what_biden_has_done_year_three_year_one_two_are/

44 Democrat senators politicians and Joe Biden acted with lightning speed to block the rail strike. Meanwhile Biden has enlisted Yellen and Powell to go to war with American Workers. Fuck Joe Biden.

still think you’re overstating how bad the democrats are

Respectfully, go fuck yourself. If you genuinely don't think this is bad then you and I are not on the same side. Good luck in 2024 Elect your procorporate trash candidate all on your own.
