I’ve been wondering for a bit why during the time the Democrats controlled the legislature, executive, and judicial branches during Obama’s first term in 2008 more wasn’t accomplished. Shouldn’t that have been the opportunity to make Row V Way law and fix the electoral college? I understand the recession was going on but outside of Obamacare getting passed which didnt go far enough it seems like they didn’t really do much with all that power. Are there other important accomplishments from this time that didn’t get the news they deserved? It seems like the voters have done their job in the past to elect people to fix things and yet we are still here begging people to vote to fix issues like abortion rights.

    Look, it makes them happy, it’s free, and it doesn’t cost you anything. It just kinda doesn’t seem like a big deal.

      I should start posting ads and sponsors as my signatures with every comment. This is totally not the start of something awful. It makes me happy, it’s free and doesn’t cost anyone else anything.

      Next I’m gonna post an image ad and randomise it. Maybe code bots to upvote it to the top. Ayy, you’re on to something. 🤔
