Just curious about what people believe has to be done to fix anything

98. I pay very close attention.

You talk about getting impeachments & new Constitutional Amendments as if they're as easy as tyeing a shoe, when they're intentionally the most difficult processes to accomplish. And you keep telling me that you don't support third parties, but elsewhere in this thread again & again you praise them. This tells me you have no understanding of our political process: we do not have a parliamentary system & coalitions are not built in the govt by elected officials at the legislative level. In America political coalitions are created & built at the party level by people, who then work to get Representatives who support their policies elected. Those elected officials then need to debate, haggle, trade & compromise to be able to succeed and get things done.

If you don't like that framework, think the process sucks & refuse to participate, because it's just too hard - too bad. It's supposed to be hard. You need to grow up & recognize that getting a friendly candidate elected is just the START of the long, drawn out process of getting what you want, and that candidate will never produce responsible legislation for you unless & until they have a political majority to work with. Voting for every Democratic candidate at every level in every election is what creates that political majority.

The Republicans understood this half a century ago, but it still took them 20 yrs to get their boy in the Oval Office to enact the Republican Revolution, and we've been living with the horrific consequences ever since. The only reason Bill Clinton and Obama even got elected is because the GOP policies are generally disastrous for the average person. And even so, uninformed liberals were wringing their hands & pulling their hair, threatening to withdraw their support in the face of an unending onslaught by the GOP on Clinton & Obama.

So, whenever anyone claims to be a liberal, then says they don't support the Democrats, there's ample evidence to question either their intelligence, their sanity, or their loyalty.
