Mesquite,
That is the nature of politics. If the Democrats have a majority of seats in a Legislature ( of a State ) or the US Congress, then they vote for the bills that they want, do they not? Of course.
The reverse is true also.
You sound like a Democrat because you are unhappy with the present circumstance , i.e. the Republicans hold the Congress and the Presidency at the present time.
As an Independent, I can tell you, there are plenty of things about the Republicans that I disagree with. I can also say the same thing about the Democrats.
If you want to continue to fume and fuss about your party's inability to win the last election (and thus their lack of success in advancing their agenda in the Congress ) , then go ahead and raise your blood pressure, my friend.
But pretending that those who win elections should not have the authority to act on the platform that they ran on.......... well, most of us like our form of government, and probably won't be too motivated to change it for your pleasure.
Guess you'll just have to convince your party to propose some solutions to today's issues. Their status quo doesn't seem to be working too well on election day.
