We get the Washington we deserve...divided..nothing gets done.

[iamwhatiseem]

For the past 16 years we have had a federal government that does little more than block and throw mud at each other. The Democrats blocked Bush's measures, the Republicans blocked Obama in every way they could, and now the Democrats are blocking Trump. Meanwhile...we suffer.

Take Chuck Schumer...in 2010 he proposed creating a "pause" to block Syrian refugees and other troublesome countries.
But when Trump wants to do the same thing...Schumer suddenly and completely flips sides and says that it is racist and mean.

And we can find 100 other such examples when Republican representatives did the same thing.

And what do we do? We complain about them, we say they are corrupt and worthless....but yet year after year we keep voting the same people back in because we will NOT vote for "the other side".
It isn't about who is right or wrong anymore. Arguments are not debated on their merits, or even the content of the argument itself! It is "debated" only on what side your side is on at the time.

The forces of sanity are slowly replacing Democrat insanity. 2018 should bring the end of a bit more crazyness.

what did the democrats block bush on? they even voted for the Iraq war for fucks sake...seems like for the past 8 years republicans have worked to impeach obama for nothing other than being black, just because your party is a bunch neo nazi shitheads who want total 1 party control of the government or no government at all, doesn't mean everyone else is.

For the party so called "personal responsibility" you assholes sure dont take responsibility for shit

Last 16 years? This has been going on at differing degrees since the creation of political parties in this country. At least now we don't have politicians challenging each other to pistol duels or beating each other over the head with canes.............

Yep. The two ends of the spectrum can pretend that they haven't devolved into a party-over-country philosophy, but their behaviors belie that claim.

Worse, it's spreading quickly into the culture now.

Last 16 years? This has been going on at differing degrees since the creation of political parties in this country. At least now we don't have politicians challenging each other to pistol duels or beating each other over the head with canes.............

Nah, it is true party politics is nothing new, but today, IMO, takes it to a whole new level. As Mac states - it is now a part of the culture. People REFUSE to point blame to their side, and defend them at all cost.
Example: Obama was a terrible President. He was. He was an elitist/globalist that strengthened the plutocracy, the rich got WAAAAYYY richer...Corporations grew in size and power and the middle class were trampled. Inarguable. Any leftist who still believes otherwise has their head buried...deep.

Usually you see complaints about a "divided" Country during republican administrations but it's usually the mainstream media that promotes the idea The democrat party is in chaos and has been reduced to a loud vindictive minority that can do nothing but whine and complain. Democrats don't even have the power to obstruct the republican controlled administration for long and they would have been laughed out of town if it wasn't for the criminal conspiracy of the mainstream media. In short the "division" is a myth created by the criminal conspiracy in the mainstream media.

Reference The Gilded Age for one example. Nothing changes, nothing ever truly will. Partisans will be partisan and sheeple will be sheeple regardless of political affiliation.

Sorry, but you live under a rock if you don't believe the country is divided.
I invite you to put on a pro trump shirt and walk around downtown here. And do so at night in a bar? It would be probable that you would run into physical harm.
But that isn't what I mean.
The Democrats in 2010 toyed with the idea of a temporary "pause" in Syrian and Iranian immigration, and that was defined as "something unfortunate but necessary"...today Trump proposes it - my God...you would think he proposed firing squads at the border and was defined by the left as racist, hateful and unAmerican.
If Hillary Clinton would have won, and (hopefully better executed) proposed a similar measure - I GUARANTEE it would have never been challenged. (by the left)

Even if it were challenged by the right and it ended up in the 9th circus, I guarantee they would have ruled it in Obama's favor. It was a purely political move.

Hyperbole much? Tell me, are you ready to censure and shutdown the Right? Are you ready to put us in camps?
Obama got every dime he asked for and more. He fed the Big Banks and Corps more money than Bush did, and Bush was awful.
