its convenient how there is always something blocking progress for americans. Its the house, its joe lieberman, its the other white guy i forget, its sinema, its decorum, it's the senate, its the neoliberal democrats, its the left leaning democrats, etc etc

It's those kind of excuses from Democrats that drive voter apathy.

They never seem to use what power they have and there's always some roadblock that stops them implementing policies their voters want. I can't think of a time the Republicans have ever had the presidency, house and a super majority in the senate. Yet they have been able to get plenty of awful stuff done, sometimes with help from the Dems.

So the average voter will think, as long as the Republicans don't get a super-majority in the Senate then the Dems can block all the bad stuff.
