[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The "obstruct everything" approach is not a winner.  Trump is a very successful politician, like it or not.  He WON the election.  AFTER being convicted of felonies, after being held liable for sexual assualt, after being banned from Twitter, after J6.  Most voters STILL wanted what he was selling.  Including firing some bureaucrats.  Taxpayers want that! 
 Democrats have been resisting this, and our party's approval rating has dropped a lot more than Trump's has!  We have to pick a few things to agree on so we can chalk up SOME wins in the next few years.  We can't let Trump have the only accomplishments (good and bad) and just say #theresistance #neverthelessshepersisted[/quote]

The Democrats have tried the let's be more like Republicans tactic. It doesn't work. Why would it? If people want republican policy, they're going to vote for Republicans. Democrats lost because they refuse to listen to their base, and can't give their base what they want because they can't upset their donors, ie. The same folks who run the republican party.

People want affordable Healthcare, affordable housing, good jobs, and a decent standard of living for themselves and their kids.

It's a very simple platform. It's basically Bernie's whole thing. But the Democrats scream that it's simply too "out there." Why? If they ran on that platform and stopped chasing republican votes at the expense of actual democratic voters, they might have a chance.

But they won't. There job is not to actually help. It's controlled opposition. A pressure release valve. They would never actually do anything to challenge the wealthy elite that run this country and fund their campaigns. [/quote]
