This is it. I never got it until I read this. Obama was a work horse president. He actually overcame the conservative ratchet system and turned the dial towards liberal. He made the ACA and it was overall decent, even Conservatives liked it. They hate Obamacare if you mention it and want it destroyed, but will not want anything to happen to the ACA.

Hillary just didn't bring this vibe. I believe she was just a republican in democrat skin that was being put forward. Kamala gave me that same vibe.

We need to hear some batshit crazy stuff. The next democratic president needs break rules using executive orders just like Trump did. Abolish Citizens United and then arrest any judge that dares rule against the order, all the way up to the SCOTUS ... it seems the president has this authority now.

    That's a good idea. Abuse the rules and offer the compromise that you will stop as long as all the changes they made are kept permanent and a constitutional amendment is passed that limits the power of the presidency and important ways, like saying that the president can be charged with a crime and that anyone who is or has ever been the president can never receive a pardon

    Just because the other side is doing this, this is not where we want to be as a country. The country would devolve into non-existence if both sides were acting as lawlessly as Republicans are now. What needs to happen is they need to face real consequences for breaking our democracy as much as they have been.

    It's what has to happen. They MUST realize that it works both ways. The time for being "nice" and compromising is past. Republicans are ALL thieves and criminals.
