That's a right thing, not a left thing.
A lot of left leaning places pushed consent decrees, for example:

The list time Democrats had a filibuster-proof trifecta it was for about 2 months and they passed Obamacare. Since then Republicans have nullified about 40% of it.
Except by definition it is a democracy. Like it or not, most people vote for the status quo.
Not even getting into the whole voter participaton thing here. I'm just curious does that mean you consider Trump the status quo? Because he won the popular vote in the most recent election. Because if so i agree. Trump is business as usual for the US. Just going mask off. Just surprised to see a liberal admit as much.
