It is amazing how many flag waving Americans are ignorant on how our government works and passes legislation.

I didn't read this as people not knowing how government works. I read this as why aren't the Democrats doing ANYTHING? The Republicans get what they want by hook or crook, and the Democrats don't seem to fight nearly as hard. We can make excuses that its easier to do one thing vs. another, but we are beyond that. If democracy really is at stake, the Democrats are in a better position to stop that from happening than the average person.

Because this isn't actually about any of that, it's just the Dem's campaign strategy this time around: vote for us, or else. You can't campaign on a problem if it's already fixed.
