JFC, why can the GOP obstruct? Because they can when they have a majority in EITHER the house or senate. And they can get that at any point. Read that again, they can get that at any fucking point. It's not from Dems meeting in the middle just because. Come the fuck on. You don't even know what's going on.
So WHEN the GOP has ONE of those, the Dems are FORCED to reach across the aisle. Why do I think I have to caps certain words for you to understand. Fucking forced to. Because you/voters didn't give them the house or the senate. And if they don't reach across the aisle the whole fucking government will be shut down just like they did to Obama. You can't play fucking hardball, do you have any clue what will happen if the country defaults on its debt? Come the fuck on, you don't even know how things work but you want to blame Dems. JFC. You seriously have no clue how things work. Sorry not sorry, but you have no clue.
So how do you make sure the GOP doesn't get one of them so they can obstruct, which FORCES the Dems to reach across the aisle? You fucking vote. JFC. This is so fucking simple to understand. Vote. Give the Dems all 3 consistently and things can move.
