LaurenceB., I don't see how anyone can still see Democrats as being no different than Republicans on economic issues. Democrats just passed the Inflation Reduction Act, which raises corporate taxes and allows Medicare to negotiate drug prices. During the first two years of Biden's term, they passed a reformed child tax credit, reducing child poverty by half, subsidies for those purchasing health care on the exchanges, the country's largest infrastructure bill since Eisenhower, and the first bill to address climate change.What many Americans really oppose is the Senate filibuster, which prevented the extension of both the reformed child tax credit and health exchange subsidies, as well as the expansion of Medicare to cover dental, vision and hearing. Progress is slow because we don't have overwhelming Democratic majorities in the Senate.The parties are not both equally beholden to billionaires. Unless we recognize their differences, we really will be stuck in the same place.
