there's a flaw in this assumption but i can't figure out what it is

maybe it's assuming the democrats want a public option?

the vast majority of congressional democrats did in 2010 and chances are the dems will only shift leftwards economically for 2020

you needed the damage of late 19th century laissez-faire capitalism to pass the new deal and social security and the sherman anti-trust act in the US

that's not to say the gilded age was a good thing, it's just that the silver lining might be a better society in the future when everyone collectively realize how lovely things got

you can't govern in a democracy if you need a 60% supermajority for everything, Obama should have killed the filibuster in 2010: you should be able to pass the legislation you want if you win the whitehouse+51% of the legislature

you can't govern in a democracy if you need a 60% supermajority for everything, Obama should have killed the filibuster in 2010: you should be able to pass the legislation you want if you win the whitehouse+51% of the legislature

as bad as Trump & Paul Ryan are at least if their agenda gets implemented, the country moves forward in one direction: and in 2-4 years we'll have a referendum on whether the move was good or bad

if they are bad, there will be a backlash and the democrats will find it much easier to pass the public option or a $12-$15 federal min wage when they get back into power

at my family everyone wanted to pick the boot as a reminder of the wooden sabot

I didn't get the reference but fortunately the memory alpha Star Trek fan wiki was there to help me out:

"When the USS Enterprise-A was being ordered back to Spacedock following the capture of James T. Kirk and Leonard McCoy, Valeris recalled a story to the senior staff: "400 years ago, on Earth, workers who felt their livelihood threatened by automation, flung their wooden shoes called 'sabots' into the machines to stop them. Hence the word 'sabotage'." Her story was a suggestion of deception, that Uhura used to falsely report back to Starfleet that "we are experiencing technical malfunction. All back-up systems inoperative." (Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country)"

stops him from being president, keeps him off the senate, they know he'll vote exactly how they want him to, and the democrats won't get a concession of a better option
