Fog Tripper posted:I agree with you completely, as the blatant delay and obstruction will ensure there will not be a democrat majority for generations. It got the Republicans a majority by denying the other side much in terms of accomplishments. Not sure how that's a losing strategy. The other approach is rolling over for trump which makes the dem party look even weaker which is one of those things that will drive the left wing to have lower turnout.

BTW, if you want to know how hosed up the D-team politicos are, the New York State legislature would normally be dominated by Democrats except about nine of them dropped out to form the IDC and vote lock-step with the Republicans to give them a majority instead. When they're called out on this they complain about 'out of state people' and 'racists'.

it doesnt actually matter who was the lesser of two evils in the election, because the election is over we are not in an election anymore, we are in a presidency people can rationalize the decision they made on voting day as much as theyd like, but that doesnt change the reality we now face Krustic posted:drat, Obama crime weed fucked around with this message at 16:46 on Mar 5, 2017 |
