    Voting is not the solution to this problem. The Democrats have had the majority in relatively recent years, and they’ve done nothing to deal with this threat.

    How many times does it have to happen before Democrats will figure out how to handle it permanently? As soon as our Washington politicians find the motivation they will solve this problem.

      You mean the two years they controlled the executive and legislative branches, but not the judicial, under Obama?

          It would if Obama didn’t have several members of his own party working against his agenda. But then I’m sure you knew that.

              Your point was that the Democrats had the majority and did nothing to deal with the threat because they weren’t united with the president and so any attempt would have failed?

              Not sure why you brought it up in the first place then.

      They absolutely have.

      You know how I know? Because they’re getting more and more insane while also less and less able to do anything meaningful about anything, they’re crazy and impotent, both politically and in their personal lives.

      This is literally what winning looks like, finish strangling the serpent.
