Reply #29: How does that explain not even hearing our voices or discussing our views?

It doesn't.

And I get really sick of centrists acting like they're the only ones who understand how the legal process works. Progressives know its a cumbersome process but we also know that if our views aren't included in the mix of debate there's absolutely no chance of them, or a compromised version of them, ever becoming law.

The one thing that can be said about nearly every major initiative since Obama took the white house is that they start out from the center and move to the right from there while insulting and dismissing any progressive viewpoints. We're not even allowed at the table. They kick us out of the meetings like they did in the healthcare debate.

So please don't insult us even further by suggesting that we're just too simple minded to understand how it all works. We understand all too well and we realize that we're still on the outside looking in.
