MODERATORS
In this case, it feels like the usual routine. Democrats have power for years and do nothing to codify something into law that they promised to, like with Roe.
Then, Republicans do something to block, ban, or repeal it. Then Democrats, who have power, do nothing to fix it.
It's called the Ratchet Effect, and it really doesn't matter who we elect. Republicans roll back rights. Democrats make sure we can't get them back. It's a feature of having a government controlled by the rich.
