If your viewpoint is taken, the Nazis in 1939 would have gotten what they wanted because stopping them came down to killing people. Republicans ignore input for Democrats, there are no attempt at getting input from the other side. When we have power again, we should ram our agenda through and explain to republicans that we are using the same process that they used.
