    What’s fascinating here is that you rely on completely ignoring that your own step 3 was accomplished. They delivered. But you can’t acknowledge that because it undermines your point. Their delivery (yes) is rewarded with them losing majority.

    If the voter wants even more then, drumroll please, they need to give Dems consistent and overwhelming victories. Not 4 years of majority out of the last 24 years and then wonder why progress is so slow. That’s 2 years under Obama and 2 years under Biden. That’s it. If you want to include Bill Clinton then it’s 6 years of the last 32 years. Go back further and it’s 6 years out of the last 44 years that Dems have had all 3 houses. That’s what they need to pass things. Do the math yourself, that’s it. Think about about that.

    You may continue ignoring that Dems deliver and your step 3 was accomplished. Ciao.

    Obama had a majority for 2 years. And he got through major healthcare reform. Part 3 accomplished. His reward? To lose the majority for the next 6 years and the gop blocking everything. Part 3 was accomplished and the voters did not turn out.

    So we’re back to asking, what’s the solution? 1. Vote for Dems and give them majorities.

    The tragedy here is that so many people are uniformed and think he had 8 effective years when he only had 2.

    Militaries work on plans for everything. I would be surprised if they didn’t have a plan to invade nearly every country on Earth. It’s what the military does. The decision is made by the politicians. Vastly different things that you’re trying to hammer together.

    Israelis control both the Democratic and Republican parties.

    Thank you for showing me you’re nuts. No point in real discussion, this will be my only reply.

    But to address

    Most damning of all? Al Gore supported military intervention in Iraq.

    That reads nearly like an academic discussion on the topic and that he was actually focused on WMDs. Sounds like he wouldn’t have done it without people/nations researching and agreeing that Saddma Hussein had WMDs (or was trying to make them), which would have lead to international cooperation and support. Not quite to the point of wanting UN agreement (because vetos) but he keeps discussing the UN. And sounds like if he didn’t have both the domestic and international agreement, it wouldn’t have happened. This is just another thing you’re trying to hammer together. I thought this part was cool “the president is publicly taunting Democrats with the political consequences of a ‘no’ vote”, he was obviously not a fan of Bush’s browbeating - which along with Bush’s lies is how the Iraq war went through. And the whole thing is just ripping Bush’s administration and approach apart.

    That you keep trying to hammer different things together shows me you either can’t separate them yourself, or that you’re discussing in bad faith. So ciao.

    Just have to vote for Dems and there’s a decent chance 9/11 wouldn’t have happened, so no Afghanistan, Iraq wouldn’t have happened, pandemic would’ve been handled better and the pandemic response plan wouldn’t have been axed, and we wouldn’t have bombed Iran. Not to mention women would still have health care.
