Gridlock, disfunction, and completely incapable of governing are a bit loaded, but other than that, a slow moving legislature was a feature built into the system — not a bug.
- dylan604 2y agoI don't think they are a bit loaded at all. What have the last several congresses done that has actually helped the populace?
- drawkward 2y agoThe most notable things I recall in the last few Congresses were Mitch McConell stealing a SCOTUS appointment, the failure to remove Donald Trump from office (twice!--once for inciting an insurrection in front of the eyes of the world; it was literally televised) for political gain, and the voting down of Republicans' own immigration bill (again for political gain). Thats what happened. Pepperidge Farm remembers.

- dylan604 2y agoMy post was not edited. While your post didn't directly answer with examples of what good they did as asked, I felt your response was apropos in recognizing the spirit of the question and provided the most relevant accomplishments.
- drawkward 2y agoFair enough. From my perspective, little has been done to benefit the population, more has been done to cement political power.
