Reid: 'No desire' to obstruct GOP

[Xyzse]

95. Not quite but I do see your point.

People have been inculcated with the idea that the two party system is pretty much it. It is a choice between the Republican or Democrat. Where there is less of a difference in the net effect of whomever is in power.

Though yes, I do remember the GOTV efforts of Howard Dean.
I can agree with you in regards to how they alienated people due to their interactions, because it can be loud and obnoxious.

The idea though to me, is the balance between restraint, inaction and taking a princpled stand and actually explaining why it is important. That to me is sorely lacking.

Unfortunately, what Reid does, to me, even if I understand that this may be a nuanced reply to state that he be using hard politicking, it misses the point entirely by showing that they will give in to whatever Republicans demand. It really hurts their credibility as someone who fights for the poor and middle class.

It makes it harder for someone like me to tell any one else to show what they are doing. Just saying that Republicans are actively trying to screw you over is a hard sell.

As per mentioned, at the moment, I am annoyed at this, as it signals a pre-emptive caving. How can we expect the general electorate to see the difference when some of those who are actually invested in politics are having a hard time proving such a difference when it comes to the actual result rather than mere rhetoric?

I can't accept the idea of doing the same thing and hope for a different result.
