    Honestly, no, it’s not. We should have had those things decades ago.

      I’ve seen the need to point this out: Dems have had all 3 (of house, senate, presidency) for 4 years out of the last 24 years. If you include Bill Clinton that goes to 6 years of the last 32 years. Want to add Bush senior? Then it’s 6 years of the last 36 years. Want to add Reagan? Then it’s 6 years of the last 44 years. That’s right, 6 years out of the last 44 years that Dems had control. And for filibuster proof majority they had 4 months of the last 44 years. Not years, 4 MONTHS of the last 44 fucking years.

      And you want to ask why things haven’t happened?

      If you want progress, give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories.

        If you’re happy with being hungry for hours before being given anything to eat, then good for you I guess? We can do better. Being kept hungry and given crumbs isn’t healthy, it’s positively abusive.
