That is easy...the left/Green message voted in 2010 and we lost the house. Boo Hoo could't get Demsrule86 Feb 2020 #37

Because they lost the house in 2010. 33taw Feb 2020 #39

they lost the house because they didn't deliver the public option they ran on questionseverything Feb 2020 #134

They lost the house because the opposing party is generally all fired up in midterms. 33taw Feb 2020 #136
