Biden had some significant legislative achievements.

But with the power we had, there were Democrats who pushed for making sure that the groundwork was laid to keep Trump from running again. Even two members of the House GOP, Kinzinger and Cheney, sacrificed their political career to help conduct a damning congressional investigation that should have been immediately used as evidence in charging him with insurrection. But here is Trump, re-elected, back in the White House because when we had the majority it would not take the necessary steps to put an end to this. And that's why Hogg's call for some new Democratic members of Congress is the exact right thing to do.

Who to replace? Those who refused to break the senate filibuster in order to pack the court, which would have done several things, including expidite his document theft trial and insurrection trial, stopped the ridiculous ruling that a President is above the law, saved Roe, overturned Citizens United. Yes, to do that would have been risky, requiring real boldness. But isn't that exactly what we need now?

The Trump opposition, which is the resulting reaction to what Democrats could and would not do, is not being led by Democrats, for the most part. But look what its doing, compared to what Democrats, even now after all of this, are not doing.
