The Dems need all 3 of presidency, house of reps, and Senate to do anything. And they've only had that for 4 of the last 24 years. Or 6 of the last 32 years. Or 6 of the last 44 years. That's why they keep going to the center to find voters, because they need all 3 and basically never get it. So how do you get them to go left? By giving them consistent and overwhelming victories.
You realize this all happened with Gore and Bush, and then Obama and Hilary and so on. The story has been the same every time. End of a democracy, republicans will destroy the country, blah blah blah.
You know what else happens? The democrats talk a huge game before the election, and do fuck all with it while in office. Even if you take something like obamacare, it wouldnt have gotten passed if there wasnt money in it for the wealthy.
And just the non stop war crimes and global terrorism. You know its literally been my whole life that this country has done this and its never mattered who was in office. Military expansion in this day and age is absurd, and its harder and harder to hide the truth that most of our wealth is stolen.
Its like a mafia family that can't hide that their protection racket is actually what's causing the danger in the first place. Apparently we don't need a godfather sequel because its here in real life on a national scale.
