But won’t actually.
Because republicans keep winning local elections and state elections and putting people in the supreme court, because Democrats don't vote in all of the elections.
Hey now, if the Democrats win the presidency and a veto proof majority in both houses then they'll do something and then take that proposal and compromise it with the right.
Anything less than the presidency and veto proof majorities in both houses and they'll get nothing done at all.
So you disagree with Obama that the ruling party should consider all Americans' perspectives when passing legislation?
I can see that, y'know. I'm still mad at Obama for constant capitulation. But I also don't know everything he knew so - maybe it was the right way to do it. I dunno.
