Not having the votes isn’t a convenient excuse, it’s reality. I literally just gave you major legislation passed by the Democrats the last time they had control of Congress and POTUS. You’re not asking for effort, you’re asking for them to pass stuff and that requires more votes.
There are plenty of great progressive policy proposals that are supported by large swaths of the Democratic Party. Healthcare, ubi, abortion rights, immigration reform, etc. If they had to votes to pass shit and didn’t, you’d have a solid point. But they don’t, and there’s plenty of evidence that if they had the votes they would pass more legislation. Can you point to a time in the last 50 years when the Democrats had a filibuster-proof majority in congress w control of POTUS, and didn’t pass any major legislation?
Convenient excuses. This has been the reasoning used to justify Dems doing nothing for decades. Show me the effort or don’t talk about desire.
