uhhhh, the blue that's currently in power?
Not the case but nice try, repub
Not the case but nice try, random person from the internet
I'm not even an American. To my knowledge, democrats are currently in power. Other guys did a good job explaining the actual situation, you on the other hand...
You don't understand the government or its current state but confidently commented on it.
Oh that's not cool of me, when did I do that?
Holding one of three branches is not "in power."
All spending bills have to originate in the republican controlled house. Anything the administration tries to do on it's own has to survive a heavily politicized Supreme Court. A Supreme Court that would be radically different without the Trump presidency. We'll be dealing with those Trump appointees for a generation and they'll do far more harm than he ever did. Not enough people voting blue in 2016 is going to have very long lasting consequences.
House is 220 R to 212 D
Senate is 51 D (+I) to 49 R
The last time there was a Dem Supermajority was over a decade ago and it lasted about a month.
And the Supreme Court is stacked with Republicans with lifetime appointments.
But yes the blue currently in power that tried multiple times to cancel student loan debt, enshrine reproductive rights, protect and expand healthcare coverage, raise the minimum wage. The current blue that successfully ended several huge corporate mergers, fined companies for raising prices of goods, and has a housing plan to add 3 Million available units. Literally everything the meme cares about and more is as simple as voting correctly for your interests.
