I just watched another panel discussion where the panelists once again repeat that nonsense that both parties can't govern.
Oh, they can govern all right.
Look at the GOP under Bush. Enormous tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans. That was pretty much it as far as governing the country besides creating the great depression. Iraq and letting Bin Laden go and their other failures happened overseas.
Democrats passed healthcare for millions of Americans that Republicans have worked tirelessly to sabotage. Equal Pay for equal work. They brought us back from the great recession. Credit card reform. Moving student loans away from the banks saving 6 billion a year and so on.
Everything the Democrats weren't able to do, it was because Republicans either sabotaged or obstructed because we had a black president.
Now we have Trump tearing up agreements left and right watching even more jobs move overseas while trying to end healthcare as we know it for millions of Americans.
So the parties can govern. It's just how you define governing. Building up or tearing down.
