I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough it seems like they didn’t really do much with all that power. Are there other important accomplishments from this time that didn’t get the news they deserved? It seems like the voters have done their job in the past to elect people to fix things and yet we are still here begging people to vote to fix issues like abortion rights.
Because “control” doesn’t mean much in the Senate unless you have 60 votes to break a filibuster.
And that they’ll actually follow through with breaking that filibuster,
Fuckin’ Manchin and Sinema, the fuckin’ bootlicking little tagnuts.
