(84,711 posts)Talking the Talk...but compromising with RW Repugs while telling us that there's nothing they can do unless we keep voting for more Dems. 14 to 23 Dems vote with Republicans over and over on crucial bills. With Gerrymandering of Districts growing worse through the Decades there's not much way to get the "more and better Dems" in the foreseeable future although we try.
There's got to be an attitude change on the Right. But, so far they don't seem to see this affecting their own families...as long is Fox News and Radio RW is on all day blaming Dems supported by Koch/Alec/Think Tanks/MIC. Breeding hatred and disinformation
seems to work with more than half of the US Population. Without a strong Independent Media we have not chance of exposing what has caused all this. Even the few Dem places we have left won't acknowledge the problem if it calls any Democrat or their actions to task.
So here we are .....not much progress on jobs or standard of living. We've had some improvement in Health Care Coverage, a bit of help with Women's Job Discrimination issues and some good movement on LBGT issues...but the decline in our lifestyle just doesn't balance out those gains.
