Why isn't anyone helping?

Are they unprepared though? Because every time they get full power they get shit done. Not as much as would be ideal but they still do stuff. And they also would have passed multiple more things in 21-22 if they had been given more seats in the Senate, having a 50-50 Senate made it only possible to get some things done not everything, they could have played dirty and gotten more done. For instance they weren't able to pass their Voting reform bill that had passed the House and would drastically have changed and improved how we vote. But it's still BS to say they don't get anything done. That's literally far right propaganda that has become so pervasive it convinces people on both sides that the Democrats are useless and never do anything.

That said, about Project 2025. It was put together by the Heritage Foundation. A think tank that does its work and puts it out for free. They're backed by right wing billionaires. So the Republican party didn't make it, despite it being their platform. Also wouldn't it be Project 2029 for theirs since 2027 is a midterm and the whole point for that is to obstruct and do oversight on trump and his administration by having any power again. That said again. They don't have the massive far right billionaires driving the equivalent of a Project 2025 and democratic voters also frequently argue against Billionaires driving something like that. Project 2025 is successful because all the work was done by Heritage.

Also also, I 100% agree that it's insane they keep playing nice. They have to play dirty and that means breaking some rules which they seem unwilling to do.

But they are put into power by the Voters and then punished by the Voters despite doing significant legislation and improving the country when they get full power. So them not being able to take power for as much time as republicans has to do with the voters and the Republicans cheating with gerrymandering and voter suppression. And general Republican propaganda destroying the system.

But even this last Election Harris wanted to increase the minimum wage, wanted to put caps on rent increases, wanted to give first time home buyers 25,000 down payment assistance, wanted to legalize weed, wanted to introduce an Unrealized gains tax on people who have stock portfolios bigger than 100 million, increasing the corporate tax rate, talking about actually trying to punish companies who engage in shrinkflation. She had progressive policies on her platform, but instead of Democrats going out and voting and the progressive legislation driving people to the polls, everyone summarized her as only ever being not-Tump and them being the same and some saying she even had no policies. Democrats have things they campaign on, but the Voters say no. Mainly because the left doesn't vote, or split their vote, and the right ALWAYS votes.

Personally, I'm not saying the Democrats can't or shouldn't be better, I think the party needs to be drastically reformed and we need to primary and kick out the older generation and we need more progressives who can talk more like real people. But I'm also trying to be fair about how things actually happen when they are in power.
