Well it stymied Obama’s very mild agenda when Dems had a majority and has led to electoral disaster.

So yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh

I mean, America has two.

The Democrats are only slightly less aggressive in their punitive attacks on the lower classes, refugees, minority groups etc.

No... the DCCC has been throwing it’s weight behind conservative and in some cases candidates against progressives in Blue districts, people who don’t even fully support the national platform and in swing districts, a number of candidates that have previously run and lost.
