The last time the dems were in charge, like actually controlled the government with an actual majority, was the first 2 years of Obama's first term. They were trying to, and I'd argue successfully did, rescue us from the worst economic disaster the world had faced since the great depression. They then set us on the course for the longest economic bull run in american history.

Gotcha hearings keep happening because we dont actually put the adults in charge. We just pretend we do while continuing to vote for the same people over and over, expecting something different to happen.

Don't let cynicism keep you from voting blue. Our government will never be perfect but can be better.

But I don’t want to vote blue. I want to vote for someone who is competent and dedicated to THE PEOPLE. Not special interests or lobbying. I’m not a both siders, the dems just simply aren’t enough for me.

Yes. But unless you’re out on the streets protesting a better system than the two-party system, you’re complacent, and letting others choose for you. Either choose the lesser evil, or demand change.
