The cuts are not so easily rolled back as long as Trump has veto power.

yeah no one is talking about this term. its fucked. but you just have to look at bidens last term for your answer. they didnt roll back the corpo taxes or fix the taxes for the middle class that trump and the republicans pushed through.

Yes they were; that is exactly what "after they win seats in the midterms" means.

but you just have to look at bidens last term for your answer.

Democrats were not a majority in the Senate at any point in Biden's term, and even if you lump the independents in with them that only gave them an extremely narrow margin.

On top of that, they lost the House half-way through Biden's term.

yeah because they didnt even attempt to do shit and constantly undercut the middle class. Everyone remembers harris' min wage vote. they had plenty of opportunities to show they actually gave a shit and had policies that matched.

but sadly they never were

stop making excuses for them. you're not doing them any favors. democrats have had numerous and many chances over the last 16 years to show they are worth voting for and they've failed every, single, time. not because they couldn't, but because they wouldn't
