What Have the Democrats Accomplished?

[Cow Poke]

OK, aside from endless investigations and always looking for ways to bring down Trump....

What have the Democrats actually accomplished.
I mean - let's assume you agree that Trump is a low life scum bag and needs to be removed from office...

BESIDES THAT, what have the Democrats actually accomplished?
What can they point to to say "vote for us because we...." (and not what they promise, but what they DID)

Note: This is NOT A "I HATE TRUMP" thread - there are plenty of threads already for that.

Should you be gloating over not screwing up even worser than you did?

Hey, when it's all ya got, YEAH!

[rogue06]

Now, as per the OP...

To be fair, the Democrats only control the House which makes accomplishing things rather difficult.

When you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with bovine poop?

Yeah, I considered that, but there's always the possibility of working on ANYTHING that could even remotely be considered bipartisan. There's NOTHING?

We are in a time when extending a hand across the aisle is typically seen as treasonous among your fellow travelers and a sign of weakness by those across the aisle.

Unfortunately, true --- so they're just handicapped for 5 more years?

(First of all, I am not a democrat)
I would like to point out that the republicans control the senate and the white house. Since the republicans own 2/3 of the government, what could the democrats accomplish? Anything they put forward would be shot down by the opposing party. The question "what have democrats actually accomplished?" is misleading.

How about the USMCA trade agreement? Trump is also willing to work with them on the drug bill. I think the Dems want to deny him a win - on everything...

Here's a list of bills the Democrats passed in the House, and which Mitch McConnell decided the Senate wasn't going to vote on:

From here:

Health care
Civil rights
Gun control
Environment
Military/foreign affairs
Other legislation

Democrats seem to be 'getting things done' just fine, insofar as you mean they are turning up and doing their job by voting for relevant laws to help the American people.

The ones very much not doing their job are the Republican senators, who have done almost nothing at all, refusing to hold votes on almost any legislation. In any other workplace they would be fired for failure to do their jobs.
