You cannot seriously mean what was said in the last part of that paragraph....pushed through legislation as fast as they could??? did you watch the news? The republicans fought them on every single piece of legislation that came up completely abusing the procedural process to try and kill anything and everything the dems brought up (you know they blocked appointments for fucks sake! Just enough to make them take a lot more time then usual just to gum up the works... now thats working in America's best interest for ya)
what was managed to be passed was so watered down and weak it made no difference at all and even now the republicans are vowing to defund shit that was passed as soon as they get into power.
The belief that the democrats managed to accomplish anything is a lie both parties are telling to push their own political agendas. The Rs want to say he did this and did that and its killing the economy and the Ds are saying we did this and we did that so they look more effectual then they ever were
