Something is "impossible", so the Democratic politicians don't fight for it, whether it is good or not. It's almost as if they are afraid of the embarrassment of losing more than the embarrassment of dithering on the sidelines while the evil GOP gives our citizens a good rogering.

Think about the abortion issue. something like 70% of American citizens are behind a woman's right to choose. Republicans generally lose this battle, over and over again. But they keep hammering and chipping away at it, to the point where in many places women can't actually get an abortion, despite the fact that they have the legal right to. _THAT_ is how you push and push for the things you believe in a will fight for.

The Democratic politicians need to get their hands dirty and fight.
