No, of course not. Dems rarely get any real power. They're controlled opposition.
Liberals operate as a placeholder for when plutocrats need to diffuse public outrage at the current leadership. And they are a means of temporarily gentling harsh, unpopular measures without actually removing them.
Most importantly, they're deliberately weak, incompetent, and disappointing. Merrick Garland is a great example of a modern American liberal. Pete Buttigieg and Kamala Harris, too.
He ended it when he allowed his political opposition to go back to business as usual with no legal consequences. Ffs, Cruz and Hawley were glad-handing the crowd during J6. Charlie Kirk paid to bus people in - by extension making Foster Friese and Robert Mercer financially complicit in the resulting riots.
Never even mind Trump. You have a congo line of activists and financial bankers who organized a coup on the US Congress. Biden didn't do shit about them. Instead, he unleashed his attack dogs on... Columbia student protesters.
Biden ended democracy the day he walked out of his office and handed the keys to the Trump administration, fully knowing what they intended 4 years in advance.
