    Fine. You show us how it’s done. Tell us how we pass good legislation in light of a hostile House of Representatives.

    Go on. We’ll wait.

      How did Johnson do it?

      If they wanted things to change, things would change. Nothing is moving because frankly they don’t want it to. They’re comfortable with the status quo and won’t finance candidates with actual liberal agendas. And they actively finance fucking psychopaths to make their own candidates look better

      The house is one of their own making.

        Bullshit. This House is the one Republicans built, when they threw aside all norms and decided to be open about their power grabs. They telegraphed it in the late 2000s, and now it’s become their new normal. Johnson was able to compromise with Republicans because back then Republicans were largely irrelevant and still followed the rules instead of making up bullshit precedents. They were still interested in governing.

        So go on, tell me how you deal with modern politics when the other side isn’t willing to negotiate in good faith. Be honest about the world we live in.
