democrats had majority control of the house, senate and presidency in 2020; there was nothing stopping them from pushing this through.
looking at the history it looks like in 2020 democrats were trying to push this through but via a state ratification process. keep in mind dems only had congress for two years and there were other things they were trying to get done such as ACA. reading through the history though it seems everytime it is put forward or progress is made toward it, it is being pushed forward by democrats. what are you bitching about now? that biden didnt dictator it in like Trump does? why do types like you only ever bitch about dems and not repubs? how much is putin paying you? or is he just holding your family in front of a window?
the democrats kept control of the house for the entirety of biden's tenure as president while they had control of the senate for half of it and the aca fell apart anyways despite the democrats having a majority .... again.
no one expects the republicans to follow through on welfare programs, so it's silly to hold them to account on it on something like the equal rights amendment; the democrats do claim to care and that's why we expect progress from them.
why would anyone complain about something they're not expecting?
