Secondly, passing a federal law is not like getting a Coke from the vending machine.

No shit. Passing federal legislation is hard. But that's literally their job and why we elected them. "The democratic party not doing what we elected them to do when they have a majority in both chambers and the presidency." is not the winning argument you think it is.

"No shit. Passing federal legislation is hard, why aren't they doing a very specific thing I personally have determined is the top priority really quickly and perfectly" is not the winning argument you think it is.

Hey, I got lots to bitch about with Democrats. Not being a shark-like machine to blitzkreig progressive legislation is one of them. But using a specific five-month window and one issue to complain that all of American Democracy is a joke and scam is utter bullshit. And also a favorite of the non-voting division-focus "left".

The majority still doesn't make it that simple. There are also conservative leaning dems making up that majority.
