People were saying it from 2009-2011 when the Pelosi-led House was passing ARRA, ACA, Lily Ledbetter, Cash for Clunkers, the SCHIP extension, Dodd-Frank, the Matthew Shepherd Act, the Fair Sentencing Act, START, HFHSA, FERA, and the Americorps expansion.

We have to keep demonstrating the differences in spite of the bothsiderism of RW media and M$M. Eventually, it won't take a tsunami to overcome gerrymandering, voter purges, voter suppression, and Fox/AM radio propaganda.

Educate the electorate.
