How can they actually obstruct a majority in both houses? I expect more from you... Alot more. e:nvm. your goals must've been trolling. wp | ||

It's as if Democrats saw the past six years of Republicans being obstructionist, complaining about it the whole way, then when they didn't have the presidency, thought, "hey, let's be just like those Republicans!" | ||

What are the Democrats stopping right now through the (threat of) filibuster? Genuine question because from what I understand Trumps big moves are being stopped by Republicans, not Democrats. What, other then the Supreme Court nomination, are the Democrats obstructing? | ||

My guess is the part that sounds true in the message is the rallying behind a negative message (Not Trump) rather than a positive one (us). It's not actually true cause a lot of democrats are rallying behind single payer, amongst other things, but they could probably do with a little more of that kind of stuff and a little less Russia in general. | ||

We all know you're are smarter than this. You know how congress works and how the republicans are preventing the democrats from even adding amendments to bills. Don't treat us like we are dumb enough to accept this stupid argument. | ||
