White people clamoring for the Obamas, I have a real question: do you look around and see how it’s *only y’all* with this expectation?

"Law" under Trump; lawyers inside USCIS were handed pre-written memos and told they had 10 minutes to read them and respond.
When the lawyers said the memos had problems, they were told to ignore them anyway because the admin doesn't care what the law says.

I still remember the ACA being retcon into the Romney plan or the health insurance companies plan after the struggle to get it over the finish line.
I bet you’ll never guess what “progressives” did in the mid-terms after Obama and a Dem controlled Congress passed the ACA.
If Dems delivered on progressive policy—or even credibly fought for it—they'd be winning elections. Big donors ensure that they don't.
It would be infinitely more productive if those punching down on the electorate pushed instead for Dems to ditch big donors.

The “fertilizer” from which the Tea Party grew
"But there's no public option so I'm holding my breath and won't vote in the midterms."
Most of the havoc we're dealing with now is a result of the 2010 midterms when Republicans took control of so many state legislatures.
