"Can't Count Votes? Just Draw Straws."

Journal by fustakrakich

That the Democrats lose House seats, do not win the Senate and barely manage to drag their demented presidential candidate towards a stalemate tells a lot about their lack of sane policies. A donor party completely disinterested in what the people really want - medicare for all, no fracking etc. - will have little chance to survive a future onslaught of conservatives with a more competent figure head than Donald Trump. ...should Trump lose this election, Trumpism will only grow and make the U.S. ungovernable.

    Exactly. Because if the democrats had won the prez, and overwhelming majorities in the House and the Senate, then they would actually have to govern instead of argue and complain about "obstruction". They would have no excuse, if they had all the votes.

    Now they can continue to complain about being "obstructed" by the republicans, which of course their base will believe because CNN will tell them it is true, and they can continue as they were.

    Their worst nightmare would have been to have now been on the hook for actually doing something, with only themselves to blame for the inevitable blowup.

    You're not wrong to call out dems for not doing a good enough job, but repugs do NOT get a pass because yes, they have obstructed a HELL of a lot.

      Nobody is giving the GOP a pass. The democrats catch their well deserved shit because they don't really oppose the republicans. If they did, the numbers would reflect a real massive popular support for them.
