Parties always lose at least one arm of congress in a midterm. The fact it was so close was actually odd.

That's recent.
Progressive presidents don't, it's just been a long time since we were allowed one.
When the president doesn’t keep campaign promises, it depresses turnout for their party.
That is true.
But we could always just try running a candidate that will put the work in, even if they don’t succeed.
The 73rd to 79th congress had full Dem majorities.
When moderates and republicans United to kick out FDR, republicans swept it all.
And I’m sorry to have to go back to when Biden was a toddler, but it’s been a minute since we had a president who wanted and legit tried to help Americans.
Unfortunately Republicans and moderate Dems united to stop that and move the country to the right.
What are you talking about? Obama lost a branch of congress in 2010. Are you just making shit up to dunk on Biden?
What are you talking about? We haven't had a progressive president since FDR.
Ohh I see you've moving the goalpost to the term progressive! Well those haven't existed in my lifetime so have fun with that point I guess.

Who said he didn't?
He ran as a progressive in 08, and the party paired Joe Biden to show people he wasn't that progressive.
And when he got in office, he wasn't that progressive.
So he lost in the midterm.
This isn't ancient history...
When did moderates and republicans unite to kick out FDR...?
When they created the two term limit because no one could beat him
That didn't kick him out, that was after he died. Death is what kicked him out.
