Comment on Why Didn't Democrats Do More When They Controlled Both Houses of Legislature, The White House, and The Supreme Court During Obama's First Term?

The main difference is:

Republicans do stuff then Democrats challenge it thru the courts.

Dems challenge their own stuff first, and if they think it’s right after a year or two, they start talking about if they should do it. And Republicans will still challenge it thru the courts.

You can argue over which path is morally the right one.

But no one has a legitimate argument that says republicans aren’t more effective.

They’re skipping steps that take us years to complete.

I mean, Biden talked about all types of shit he would do when elected. And his first day he said he’d start looking into if he was allowed to do any of it.

trump ain’t waiting to ask anyone if he can do something. He’s just going to do shit, and we’re going to have to try and fight a bunch of battles at once, all the while his policies are in effect.

It’s not that they’re fighting dirty and we’re fighting clean.

It’s that when the gun goes off to start the race, we start stretching so we won’t cramp up.

Doesn’t matter how slow Republicans are if we give them a 10 minute head start on a 100m sprint.
