The party holding the Presidency usually loses big time to the opposition in midterm elections. The GOP was crowing about a “red wave”, sure that history would predictably repeat.
Historically speaking, the GOP got their ass handed to them. Most everyone was shocked with the slim victory in the House, and the GOP lost the Senate. (Tied 50-50 with a Democratic VP as the tie breaker.)
Below is a non-partisan breakdown. Suffice to say, Republicans can’t continue to “win” like this.
When the president doesn’t keep campaign promises, it depresses turnout for their party.
That is true.
But we could always just try running a candidate that will put the work in, even if they don’t succeed.
The 73rd to 79th congress had full Dem majorities.
When moderates and republicans United to kick out FDR, republicans swept it all.
And I’m sorry to have to go back to when Biden was a toddler, but it’s been a minute since we had a president who wanted and legit tried to help Americans.
Unfortunately Republicans and moderate Dems united to stop that and move the country to the right.
Obama left office in 2016, he was one of the most beneficial presidents since JFK or Carter. The next most beneficial president is currently in office. Neither of them are perfect, none of them have been. But the last 2 democratic presidents have been amazing.
If you truly believe that Biden has done nothing, then you’ve either been duped by propaganda or you just play a Democrat online.
All of those future presidents are/were more conservative than FDR. Despite being elected generations later. Like, even Obama’s campaign healthcare plan was more conservative than FDRs. Their goal for tax rates were way lower, their minimum wage was lower after inflation
Seriously, take you pick of them and make a single economic issue you think they’re more progressive than FDR on. I’ll take the time to get you some links.
you just play a Democrat online.
Honestly at this point I don’t think I’d say I am a Dem anymore. There’s some good Dems in office, they just have to constantly fight their own party in addition to republicans.
I like progressive more, the two private parties are not something our government needs. They’re just clubs that we never get to the VIP. We just pay for their tabs.

Out of quite a long time that I’ve spent arguing with the shills, this is the first time that I’ve had a strong suspicion that any specific shill was specifically not from the US.
Accusing a politician of being less progressive than literally the single most progressive president in US history, as some kind of gotcha, is such a weird nonsensical flex that it seems like it might come from a position of not actually having a native understanding of US history. Evaluating FDR with this anachronistic modern-day political analysis, is such a weird confusion of ideas that I have trouble seeing an American doing it whether they are liberal or conservative. E.g. I have literally never heard from any other person who thinks that moderates and Republicans “kicked out” FDR, or talks about FDR’s “healthcare plan.”

You kind of just made my point…

LOL, you mean the healthcare plan that FDR never passed?
LBJ signed the Civil Rights Act and Obama signed the Lily Ledbetter Act. What did FDR do to ensure equal pay for women?
