Social benefits aren't easily changeable if they are codified... Which could have been done but Dems choose not to. Instead they left them vulnerable so they could pivot if needed or use the threat of losing those rights to the other side as a way to gain support/power. Democrats consistently and seemingly deliberately don't do enough to protect the progress they sometimes make.
If Democrat leaders had spines then Republicans wouldn't be able to get away with blatantly disregarding laws, regulations and our constitution. Dems concede so much its embarrassing... I blame them for all of this because over the years their message has gotten so tone def. There are too few of them who ACTUALLY fight for and care about the people.
Its like watching someone get abused and not doing anything about it and then saying, "Well I wasn't the one doing the abusing so I'm not at fault." Sure, I guess but it doesn't make you a good person and I still blame you for allowing it to continue. Same with Democrats...
We could have possibly avoided this Trump nonsense if they had not disillusioned voters (especially young ones) during the primary when Bearnie won the vote and the Democratic leaders vetoed in favor of Hillary.
The magical legislation you are looking for is called election reform because our process is a joke. We should have at least implemented ranked voting ages ago but that would threaten the eternal struggle for power we currently have and neither side wants that, lest they actually have to be held accountable or listen to their constituents to continue being relevant. However, I fear it may be too late for us depending on how the near future plays out...
