(25,026 posts)and obstruction is why we don't have such effort and I say there has been ZERO material effort.
We aren't arguing about if the policies would be enacted and funded at this time but rather if we are even trying to and we are not.
I'm saying make them obstruct and present a competing narrative so that we can either turn the conversation or at the very least allow other options to a part of debate so that we have a fucking argument.
The opposition doesn't give a damn if they have the votes or not, they don't care what the polls say about their agenda, and they sure a hell don't care about being or even appearing "bipartisan", they push their vile shit until it moves from batshit to "centrist" and part of the beltway common wisdom.
No TeaPubliKlan would leave an EO in effect against an agenda they are seeking, funding or no because they actually do fight for what they want and damn the torpedoes.
You know, I don't believe a Democrat would do so either and can identify no plausible justification reason they would in good faith so I'm left with every impression that such efforts are not on the agenda.
