But the fact that he is all but ignoring us tells me he is not yet being the "change" instrument he said he would be.
I expect Republicans to ignore my voice and not allow it in my democracy. I expect a Democratic President to run into challenges and difficulties if they attempt to make significant change.
What I *don't* expect, is for a Democratic President to almost completely lock out of the process the base that was instrumental in putting him where he is. How can you possibly justify that?
