(62,325 posts)They still were all powerful we were told.
Now they have Congress but not the Senate or the WH.
They are more powerful in the minority than we are when we win everything.
THAT is what we are constantly told.
In order for Dems to be that powerful, we are told, they not only need to win everything, they need to have super majorities in Congress and the Senate. Just winning it all isn't enough.
BS, the real reason is that many Democrats support the Corporate agenda and they vote FOR IT. So Repubs don't need a majority when they can always count on the votes they don't have themselves, from Democrats.
Democrats are also supporting Republicans like Chris Christie for Gov.
Show me a Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate who was ever endorsed by 61 Elected Republicans??
We are NOT stupid. But we have been far, far too tolerant.
