Well, you’re right about the fighting part, but wrong on the attempts.
Dozens of states tried to pass election integrity bills after the Trump fiasco. Few got it passed due to Republican intervention.
Same in Congress in both the 117th and 118th. Attempts to make a bipartisan bill always fails because of GOP additions that are absolutely insane.
The opposite has happened in GOP controlled state sessions in places like Texas, Missouri, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Michigan, where bills have been passed that are very obviously skewed towards the GOP controlling the seats, and getting the benefit of either limiting Democrat control directly, or limiting future abilities of such.
It’s absolutely foul, and though the Democrats are working hard to fight these things, it looks like abject failure before any real attempts can even be made, which voters seem to see as weakness. Maybe that’s just a defeatist point of view though.
Imagine how powerful leftist grassroots organizations would be if folks like you would dedicate the same amount of time and energy to voter engagement and activism that you devote to ranting and raving on political message boards. This country would be completely transformed in a matter of months.
Edit: Seriously, 6,800 comments over a 12 month period is almost 19 comments every single day of the year. That’s borderline obsession, and it can’t possibly be good for your mental health.
Voters don’t expect everything to get fixed overnight
Voters aren’t even clear on what separation of powers means, much less the realities of the political processes of the government. Voters absolutely expect everything to get fixed overnight, and throw fits when it isn’t. Remember 2010?

We expect the people we elect to fight for progress, even if they lose.
It’s a very low bar that the DNC isn’t meeting.

Great.
Literally and unrioncislly great
But we’re talking about the federal government, not states…
You’re also ignoring that the reason we need a supermajority, is Dems won’t get rid of the fillibuster.
A cynic would say because that removes their best excuse for why they can’t do what their voters want.
Federal law puts elections in the hands of the States.
