I'm thrilled that the President didn't veto the spending bill (updated)

62. No, not at all. I admire their ability to get what they want, not THEM. Because

Democrats are so incapable, it seems, of getting what WE elected them to do. If only they could do for us, what Republicans do for Corporations. If only Dems could force Republicans into a position where WE could blackmail THEM. But for some reason Dems always seem to be cornered, or so we are told. Always pushed to vote for terrible policies, because of threats from Republicans to shut down the Government or something.

What I envy, admire, wish for, is that WE could threaten THEM with shutting down the government and blaming it on them, if we don't get some good policies passed.

I see no reason why that cannot happen. We used to have Dems who could mae it happen. So either Dems agree with Repubs or they are voting deliberately for BAD legislation. Either way the people lose and the corporations win.
