Obama had a filibuster proof senate for three weeks, he could have given you a proper health care WITH a public option, but he did a giveaway to big pharma instead. Also could have done Roe at that time…
I hope you guys watch Obama speak in the videos. It’s mind boggling…
Not in national legislature in this country. Honest question - have you checked out the process for passing bills in Congress? Not being a smart-ass or anything. It’s fucking byzantine and reliant on everyone in a slim majority (or slim supermajority, depending on what you’re trying to do) 100% playing ball. Sometimes it’s also reliant on the opposition playing ball. It’s insane. It’s dysfunctional in the extreme. And during Obama’s term, that dysfunction became worse than ever - either (depending on who you ask) because it had been steadily getting worse since the 90s, or because Obama was Black and the GOP took that opportunity to pander to their most racist supporters by being mindlessly obstructionist (or some mixture of both).
US politics is just professional wrestling, the sooner you understand that, the better. Usually the GOP are the bad guys, but this time it was the blue dog democrats… Whatever it takes to keep the class helping policy from being passed. R’s don’t want class helping policy passed and D’s don’t want class helping policy passed. D’s pretend they want it, though.
No, no, you see, the fact that Obama didn’t coup the government and take up power as a dictator is PROOF that liberals are actually ANTI-democracy and hate minorities. He Is Very Smart.
They’re just fascists who think being painted red makes them anti-fascist.
“Everything I don’t like is fascism,” & “both parties are the same,” these glib hot takes just provide cover for actual fascism. Biden isn’t sending anyone to mass graves, genius.
“Just DO it! See? The fact that Dems HAVEN’T is PROOF that they DON’T CARE”
Like, someone wants to say that Dems are a bunch of milquetoast moderates who aren’t playing hardball against fascists they SHOULD be playing hardball against? They aren’t fucking wrong.
But the idea that the two are equivalent or just as bad as each other is either insanity or regurgitation of fascist propaganda.
We should not be satisfied with Dems. That’s not the same as ‘let the Republicans win’.
(all in agreement with you, mind, I understood your sarcasm)
Comments like this make me realize how shitty the education system in America is. Go take an online civics course or read book, just do something to educate yourself about how laws are passed at the federal level.
What? This doesn’t show how the democrats failed to do anything about Roe
You’re absolutely right, if only the Democrats had slipped one of the members of SCOTUS an extra 20$.

Tell me you don’t understand Congress without telling me you don’t understand Congress.
Three weeks is fucking nothing, especially for a contentious issue.
Three weeks is a long time if you are prepared.

I blame the blue dog Democrats who neutralized that majority, not Obama.

Let? You realize that Trump got to pick three SCOTUS justices because of McConnell’s fuckery, right?

I’m sure you’ll be loudly crowing about “AT LEAST I DIDN’T VOTE FOR GENOCIDE JOE!” as wheelbarrows of bodies are carted out from the showers.
Hell, maybe you’ll even be a good capo for them, since you adore fascism so much.

Because it is so easy to change the justices in the supreme court.

I feel like Dems are "centrists"™ but yeah. I take the “ignorant and privileged centrists” over the “actively hateful fascists”

Do you understand how they could change it? Like what their options are and the implications of it?

And what’s worse is they’ll probably not fix the issue as it is an excellent rallying call.
