  I'd like some concrete examples of that happening in the Clinton, Obama, or Biden administrations. I wish Obama acted like he had a mandate and just pushed through his agenda... Instead we had BS like the parliamentarian saying "no you can't do that", and the Democrats would simply drop it. Last time the Republicans had pushback from the parliamentarian they just replaced him with somebody that would do what they wanted. Stop pretending this is a "both sides" issue.

    You are right about not prentending this is a “both sides” issue, but for the wrong reason. There is only one side. Two colors but one side. When the blue team is in power, it somehow fails to do all the things that its voters want. It is meek and pitiful. Because it is not serving the blue voters. It is serving its backers and its backers want what the red team wants. So when the blue team is in power it magically fails at everything. Whoops! I guess blue team people are just ineffective liberal losers. When the red team is in power it does whatever it wants, because what it wants publicly is what their backers want.
