Unlikely. Your political system is broken. One side wants to take it away and the other keeps saying they will prevent it, but when they get in power they do absolutely nothing.

EDIT: Just to clarify. I'm not on Republicans side, but I'm also willing to callout Democrats for their failures. I just hate money in politics and 95% of politicians are on corporate side not idealogical one.

Examples of the Democrats getting "in power they do absolutely nothing"?

People like Sinema and Manchin are a feature of Dem politics, not a bug. They are there to slow everything down and take the heat of unpopularity so that the party can drag its feet on all of their promises.

Biden's cabinet split the huge infrastructure bill, ensuring that the parts they wanted would pass and the stuff they promised and didn't care about would tank.

I heard someone say that the means testing of student debt relief gave the GOP extra time to sink it in some way.

The basic playbook is: vote for us or some crazy fucks will be the alternative; we talk a great game, but republicans always find a way to sabotage us when we get there.

Then you should just go ahead and vote for the Republicans if your tinfoil hat is on that tight.

I'll do one better and vote for socialists.

I love that for you. While we have a 2 party system a vote for the socialists in this context is a vote for Republicans.

And that’s how change never happens. You’re forgetting that republicans were a third party who got off the ground because people cared deeply about abolition. We just need to get people aware of how to get Medicaid for all. Also, your snide tone isn’t useful.
