I don't think any of this happened last time the democrats were in charge? Or any other time before that. Seen from Europe, democrats are definitely right of center, just less so than republicans.
The DNC haven't had more than 48 senate seats in over ten years, and just before that they expanded medicaid to tens of millions of americans.
Taxing the Rich was the Harris Campaign, with promise of a unrealized capital gains tax for earners over $1M USD, and enshrining Roe V. Wade as well as many other things in the list require defeating fillibuster, but even if the senate had changed the rules to bypass fillibuster: only 48 seats.
Quality of life has declined in the USA and progress has stagnated. And I know why. Only 48 seats.
All I'm saying is everything is further to the right in the US. These things you listed aren't even partisan issues here, they're just normal things. But I see you're just downvoting and arguing so I'll be on way cheers.
I just don't see it as anything other than bad optics. The DNC policy is very left, if we gave them 60 senators for the first time since 1979 then the USA could become something envied by Europe.
