    There’s things around LGBTQ+ support that are more opportunistic than actually caring, there’s things around environmental support that get said but not acted upon, there’s things around taxes and medical coverage that also get said but don’t actually happen.

      Yeah, I hear you. Lots of things get said, but little gets done-- I can’t argue with that. But I’m looking for concrete examples because most of the goals and results people are expecting, from my perspective, are things that only get accomplished through legislation. Democrats have recently been focusing on voting rights. A solid voting rights bill would be a solid step toward tackling the issues you mentioned, but in June the most recent bill was voted against by all 50 Republican senators.
