It is no wonder it seems so difficult to get anything done in government.

Republican party: Spend 4 to 8 years fucking everything up.

Democratic party: Spend 4 to 8 years cleaning up the mess.

be fucked up than cleaned up in 4-8 years. Since Reagan it’s been two steps forward, one step back on some pretty key things: education, labor, the economy/income distribution, taxes, election integrity, world stability, mass shootings/gun control to name some obvious ones. On these fronts it’s been ugly, and in this current cycle it’s getting a whole lot uglier.

We have a lot of work to do yet to clean up their mess, and we won’t get there by being nice people. They are fighting a war while we have been trying to govern by compromise and respect for institutions.

Our party campaigns on progress but we also have to clean up basic normal stuff that everyone used to agree on but lately GOP has been fucking up deliberately because they know we'll waste time cleaning it up.

They do it on purpose to avoid progress.The arguments against health care reform are the same tired arguments they used to oppose Medicare and Social Security when those programs were first proposed.
