I've already come out and said Obama failed hard during the time period he had the Senate and House and could've passed a massive package of progressive policies. Then, when the two houses disagreed upon whether or not to stay seated, he could've unilaterally disbanded them. There's your dictator, for you. That didn't happen and wouldn't have happened because it, like many of your comments, was a fantasy scenario.
So failing to achieve a fantasy scenario, is what, exactly?
You are perhaps one of the most skilled purveyors of what I call "authoritarian discontent" because you want a dictator when you don't have one. You regularly deflect from the President and the Democrats and render them corporatists when they have to work in political realities and not fantasy land. When you're told to elect better representatives you then complain about how it's not possible because the they buy elections. Then we say that you should protest them you complain about how the media doesn't cover the protests.
The reality is that we get the representatives we deserve. The reality is that in democracy progress is extremely gradual. The reality is that your bemoaning on these forums serves little to actually speed up that progress. If anything it, because of the continual moving of goal posts, appeals to political apathy and actually does more harm than good.
