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

They always block appointments. Both sides do. And of course the bills were watered down, that's the point of the two-party system. Giving any one party total control would have very powerful bills that would certainly not be the "will of the people."

You surely don't want a Republican president, Senate, and House to have full control over writing bills, do you?

The Democrats are right. They pushed a lot of legislation through, fast. Landmark legislation at that. Is it exactly what they wanted? Of course not, but again, that's how the system was designed. Their problem is their message. They campaigned and pushed and shoved for this legislation and nobody even understands what it is.

It's amazing to me that they created such a focused message during the campaign, but cannot create any sort of message saying what they did or didn't do.
