When Obama had the majority, what did Democrats spend their time and political capital on?

Killing the public option and capitulating to republicans.

Biden used his to deal with a pandemic fallout and he was at least attempting to solve a educational loan bubble.

He was sure able to sell weapons to netanyahu without any problem at all. Bipartisan support, even. But codifying Obergefell wasn't a priority.

Keep in mind things like gay marriage and abortion were never in any immediate danger at any time.

Which is why Roe was never overturned.

Again, the democrats can be much much better,

But they never will.

Yet we got the ACA, but i guess you prefer the old system where Americans can't get insured if they have preexisting conditions.

Sure. Things are easier to pass with bipartisan support. Are you suggesting Obergefell would receive bipartisan support? Lol

Which is why Roe was never overturned.

Which is irrelevant to my point. Roe was a republican talking point for decades but they were never stupid enough to act on it. When they did there was immediate election fallout. We are still in the "finding out" stage and there can absolutely be more blowback from this down the road.

But they never will.

Which is why you should continue to support the Republicans. That'll show them
