FIRST: Democrats had power to pass national legislation for just two years out of the last 25 - the 111th Congress 2009-2010, during which these “corporatists”:

- passed the ACA, insuring 40 million more Americans,

- banned bias for pre-existing conditions (enraging the insurance companies who then donated heavily to Republicans in 2010),

- passed banking regulation (enraging that cabal, who donated heavily to Republicans in 2010, when many splitters didn’t vote),

- created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau whose destruction was Trump’s top goal,

- vastly increased auto gas mileage standards, saving Americans billions at the pump,

- expanded support for sustainables, resulting in the solar+wind “takeoff,”

- did a sweeping overhaul of Wall Street rules (enraging that cabal, who donated heavily to Republicans in 2010),

- passed a $787 billion economic stimulus package,

- repealed “don’t ask, don’t tell”, allowing gays to serve openly in the military, and much more…

1. Great list!

Thanks. It really was a positive time, like FDR's 100 days.

2. Excellent!
