In reply to the discussion: If we have a Democratic majority in the House and Senate, and a Democratic [View all]Blue_true
(31,261 posts)33. Great, again key contributors have been forgotten about.
President Obama and a democratic Congress did wonderful things for two years, and got ripped apart be the far left for silly things like not jailing Bankers who had not comitted crimes for which there were laws violated, the attacks were over silly shit. Then came the 2010 debacle as the far left pissed publicly on democrats and advised people not to vote (how fucking stupid can someone get, not voting insures election of people that are truly going to fuck the far left).
We can get a Congress and a President, but unless we stand behind them and vote for them, there is only so much they can do. I am not saying accept bad policy, I am saying get heard but not in a destructive way.

Use computer algorithms to stop gerrymandering. Make it illegal to suppress someone's right to vote.
