You need congressional support to do that surgery.

A lot of it was gerrymandering. See Rat F**cked by David Daley. Good book.

Republicans are largely homogenized and work in lockstep. Democrats are the party of diversity and has difficulty uniting.

“The Democrats weren’t gullible for believing Republicans. They were gullible for believing that the average American could fight for Dreamers”

Then vote Republican. They sound like they are more your type of party.

Many of the Republican members of the House wouldn’t vote for the spending bill because it blows up the deficit. Ryan needed Democrats to sign on to make up for the Republicans who wouldn’t play ball.

Jill Stein is currently being investigated for her ties to Russia.

The Republicans could only have kept the government running with Democratic support in the House and blowing up the filibuster in the Senate.

And yet there are only two viable choices come November.

I like you! You’re sassy!

I don’t envy them. It was a fraught issue. I think they were damned either way.

I honestly think that the Republicans would never have allowed a vote on DACA. You may disagree. The important thing is to take back the house in 2018.

Simple logic seems to escape most people on this thread (as well as the author).

If we can both agree that Republicans are awful and need to be voted out of power, I think the rest is academic. Many think that the Democrats should have shut down the government and got a DACA deal. I am of the opinion that the Republicans would never have agreed. They’re in lockstep. Others think that the Democrats…

False-equivalency is the new religion of the self-hating left.

So do something about it. Run for office. Start small and work your way up. A lot of people have started doing that after Trump was elected.

I prefer the idiots.

Indeed.

Well, you can be made at Democrats and stay home in November. Or you can vote and hope for something better.

DACA was dead from the moment Trump rescinded it. The Republicans won’t give an inch on it and never would have.
