Capitulation Is Not Compromise - 'Obama legacy will be viewed as one of sheer ineptitude'

44. And the absolute surrender buys you, what? A year?

We've surrendered to corporate bailouts. On what basis do you plan on opposing them in the future? Or will you even bother to oppose it and other travesties if the GOP need only threaten to delay funding something?

Let's not forget that funding the ACA will be back on the table in a few months and immigration reform is only an EO and that can be undone by another EO. Meanwhile the taxpayers are back on the hook to guarantee private profits and the corporatists are deeper in bed with the pols.

I'd wager if you walked into the boardroom of Goldman Sachs and said, "I absolutely will NOT fund your next multi-trillion dollar bailout unless and until you agree to immigration reform!" they would look at each other up and down the table at each other before coyly replying, "Sure. Okay. Whatever you say."

We have traded very temporary and shallow gains for very permanent and far-reaching liabilities and a complete surrender of the ability to argue against future abuses.

Not that you would ever read that at vox.
