    Oh shut the fuck up. If Dems weren’t being obstructed by the GOP, we wouldn’t have most of the issues we have. Why don’t we ensure the GOP stays down and then you can work on reforming the Democratic Party.

      Fight me then. Republicans wouldn’t have been able to make as much progress on their agenda as they have if not for the Democrats.

      They refuse to fight. They contort their policies for the purposes of appeasement.

      They are the fucking problem and your denial of that is an even larger problem.

                Look, we probably agree on a ton of things but I’m not a Marxist or socialist and I’m familiar with the outlet. Liberalism is perfectly fine in my book, but even that’s too extreme for most conservatives. So it’s a little frustrating that liberalism can barely get off the ground in America because of a constant barrage by rightwing radicals, and then it’s getting tugged down on the other end by marxists. The last President with a budget surplus was Clinton. Budget surpluses are the first step towards paying for more social programs that we both champion. But that won’t happen as long as Republicans have control because they will always stand for large tax cuts and bending over backwards for corporations
