You’ve had 12 years of Democrat leadership with 4 years of Republican squished in there. Are things better now?
Of course not.
Things seemed pretty good with republicans in office to everyone. Now that the democrats are backed, everything’s quickly gone to shit again
Yes they are actually. We're out of the pointless war Bush started. Unemployment is at the lowest it's been in decades. Obamacare is a first step toward socialized medicine. Infrastructure is finally getting properly funded and fixed. The largest road blocks have been that 4 years squished in the middle that saw tax cuts on the rich and the republicans in the Senate refusing to raise taxes on the rich.
The first two years of Obama is when Democrats controlled both houses and the white house. It's the only reason we were able to get Obamacare and even then the Republican's obstruction prevented a public option. Republicans even shut down the government trying to avoid paying for it.
Things absolutely did not seem pretty good with republicans in charge
