In reply to the discussion: Statement by Senator Warren on President Obama's State of the Union Address [View all]Demo_Chris
(6,234 posts)Some here are content with anything so long as a Democrat did it. That, to them, is a victory. We sent Obama to the White House with s majority in the House and a supermajority in the Senate, yet we were told that wasn't nearly enough to pass anything or advance a liberal agenda in Washington. Apparently we need all three branches at 100% before we can move even one tiny step to the left.
Lacking that there is nothing for it but to leap to the right on every issue. The Democratic controlled Senate and White House are PASSING cuts to food stamps and unemployment, they merrily making the Bush tax cuts permanent, and ramming through Corporatist insurance mandates and free trade, and this is considered the best we can do. Fuck that.
If Warren wants to vote like a Republican than it's time for her to go home.
