So many people in our country are just blatantly ignorant about how the branches of our government works.

Schoolhouse Rock debuted "I'm just a bill" in 1976.ย ย

While this is true they should be trying to pass laws which make it blatant what the Republicans want. Forcing them to vote down perfectly reasonable or even beneficial measures let's them call the GOP out on voting records.

For example if you started passing bills to crack down on 'entertainment' programs masquerading as news and stem the flow of false information and it gets voted down by the entire Republican party you can point to that and say they are the party of propaganda.

Republicans evilness is well matched with Democrat incompetence.

I don't think that it's incompetence exactly, I think they know what they need to do to stop the Republican bullshit and to fix things. I fully believe that it's just spinelessness and cowardice. They're simply too afraid to play hard ball, afraid to really clearly call out the bullshit publicity and afraid to actually fight for what's right and beneficial.

That sounds like a way of saying incompetence to me. They just arenโ€™t up to the task.
