The bottom line is, like it or not, the Democrats get things done, yes we disagree with it, but at least they have accomplished a lot.
What have Republicans accomplished since Reagan? Zip, Zilch, Nada, other than getting us into a Stupid War.
The Democrats don’t always deliver. Before this last treachery by the USSC, Obama’s failures were quite evident. He didn’t deliver on ACA, he didn’t deliver on any foreign policies. He hasn’t delivered on the economy, except to bribe the stock market with massive QE and have his BLS cook up a new special sauce report every week.
Even after his re-election you could see a noticeable shift in Dem attitudes toward him. What he’s been able to deliver has usually been extra-legal through sheer gall and dare-me stance.
