I pointed out one recent, big accomplishment. If you’re genuinely unaware of anything else they’ve done, you’re welcome to read some of the lengthy lists others have posted in these comments.
You're literally the one who said that since 1993 they have only had 6 months of actual unopposed power. You're literally the person saying "In the last 3 decades, the Democrats have only had the ability to do anything for a grand total of 6 months."
How the fuck isn't that an ineffectual party? Would you go to a doctor that can only help you for 6 months out of 30 YEARS? But somehow this is okay when talking about the Democrats? You're not immediately thinking "well what have these jackasses been doing this whole time?".
Cus you absolutely should. And if you're only answer is "well the Rs are better at it than them", you either have to change tactics or find another team. You've already admitted you're the losers.
Going back to the car metaphor: you're over here complaining that you could do so many things with your supercar, if only the Rs would let you have some gas. Meanwhile, there are electric supercars being built that don't need gas. A completely different avenue to take. Instead of fighting for gas, you just build the best electric supercar instead and outrun them.
The Dems are over here begging for gas when there are plenty of other parties building that electric supercar.
I did not say that. I said that the 6 month window was the only time they could pass one specific thing: codifying Roe. As I said in another comment, Democrats may not be able to accomplish every priority due to GOP obstruction, but they have still been able to pass substantial, significant legislation. Not to mention some executive actions like DACA to give protection to Dreamers.
So who are you voting for in November?
