following the normal political process...
How’s that worked out so far? Take a good look around at our country, the world?
The normal political process is exactly why we are where we are. As Reagan said Government is the problem.
Politics is the problem.
In the last 100 years we have had two decent presidents - Coolidge and Reagan. The political process is corrupt and broken and the only “political” group that stands for anything right now is the Tea Party and your beloved GOP has already started to marginalize them.
If we continue our current course this is not going to end well. So we have a choice, be bold and do the right thing based on principles and values or...continue the “normal” political approach where we have to compromise our principles, ignore our values and accepts lies. How has that become the “norm”.
Everyone has just become way too comfortable with evil and apathy and now we even call repugnant things “normal”.
In the last election, we made a lot of headway. You might have grounds to complain if the country voted for more of the same last year.
Instead, you are screaming at the GOP to basically let the problems fester and get worse. There are actions the GOP can take now - cut spending, de-fund Obamacare, get rid of the 1099 requirements - that will be a good starting point.
