If the people wanted a Democratic progressive agenda passed, they would have elected more democrats to go with Biden.
Ummmm...first, the Democratic agenda isn't particularly progressive. Don't get it mixed up with the actual progressive agenda. We would defund the police, not just fundraise on it.
Second, it takes a lot more voters to elect Democrats than it does to elect Republicans.
Currently, Democratic senators represent nearly 40 million more voters than Republican senators – but the Senate is split 50-50. So it isn't really so much what
people want as what the political realities dictate. The electoral college lets the loser win and makes no bones about being unfair and more than a little bit ridiculous.
And a lot of people who
need to have certain Democratic policies and safety nets put in place are misled into voting against them. I think it's safe to say that one side of the propaganda wars has been much more successful at spreading lies than the other has been spreading truth. Union busting has become a part of Republican policy, but union members are flocking to the party...?
Trade unionists voting for their bourgeois landlords isn't a thing in a rational world.
What were we talking about anyway?
