because he doesn't think that we can think or see for ourselves. This is pure dem here. We don't goose step behind a leader because he is one. He had insulted and attacked dems for a while. He has ignored a huge portion of the base because he isn't going to be elected to anything again. All he is doing is legacy now even if it screws all of us over. Keep the faith, real dems who defeated this. I don't give a damn if you didn't do this very often, you did it when it was needed and schooled a president on team work and courtesy on our side of the aisle.
