Why are you arguing about what party was in power? It was the supreme court who did it....
And how are liberals supposed to enact rm change when they don't have enough of either house of Congress to do things by themselves and Republicans are determined to be obstructionist? Are they supposed to ignore the rules like Republicans did with Merrick Garland?
Because they're trying to demonstrate to you that liberal democrats are completely ineffective at stopping the growing fascist right, and quite honestly, they're right. The Democrats could have expanded the Supreme Court while Obama was in office, but they didn't. They could have pushed back on every little dumb thing the Republicans have done in the past 22 years, but they didn't, because they are legitimately just as terrible as they are.
You're just responding with condescension and vitriol because you know your position is weak, and it shows.
If the rules can be ignored then they aren't really rules are they
