Argue that your opposition is wrong.

But when policy is decided, it's decided by voting on it.

The President never acknowledged that the Republicans were right about tax cuts for upper incomes. He's never wanted them and STILL doesn't want them.

And if he had a RELIABLE bloc of Dems in the House and Senate like LBJ's supermajority, he wouldn't have had to DEAL with Republicans.

But because there are too many of them willing to oppose a policy, however right it may be, they HAVE to be dealt with or nothing gets done.

If we don't want to keep doing that, someone has to figure out how to get a filibuster-proof, solidly Democratic Senate.
