When is enough enough?

[Political Heretic]

Democrats won both the house with huge numbers.

Democrats won the Senate and are on our way to even a 60 person majority.

Democrats also now control the White House.

All I ever listen to are excuses. From 2000-2004 it was waah we can't do anything because the Republicans are too powerful and the president is too popular and if we do anything we'll lose 2004. Then Democrats lost the 2004 election.

From 2004-2006 it was waaah we can't do anything because the Republicans are too powerful and we don't control either house of Congress. Then Democrats won both the House and Senate in 2006.

Then from 2006-2008 it was waaah we can't do anything because we don't have a fillibuster proof majority and Republicans are too powerful and we need the Presidency. Then they won the Presidency.

So where we are... having given the Democratic Party LITERALLY everything they could fucking hope for. And we are STILL listening to whining, sniveling apologists explaining why its just soooo hard and boo hoo and poor Democrats just have their hands tied and can't get anything done right.

I'm starting to get the feeling that all I will ever hear from other Democrats for the rest of my life is the same excuses for why they aren't ("can't") do the things that we want done. I mean this is as good as it gets, folks. We have every branch of power in Washington.

Kinda makes you wonder how long we'll keep supporting the same people over and over and again when they never do what we actually want? I mean, if they're not going to do it anyway, because its ALWAYS too hard, why the fuck should I bother voting for them?

3. I think we could have 99 Senators and still fail at bi-partisanship

and still fail to fulfill the agenda of the American people. I am now THAT cynical and disgusted. My eyes have been opened to the farce that is our current political scene.

The answer is as clear as the nose on your face - our representatives exist to do well (for themselves), not to do good (for everyone else). A thoroughly corrupted system - financially and physically (actual vote counting, machines, hacking, etc)

They will finally notice when emigration overcomes immigration.

4. We could have the White House, 100% majoriries in the House and Senate,

and and 9 liberal Supremes and you and I would still get screwed.

5. We STILL Don't Have a Filibuster-Proof Majority
