    Democrats are not the party responsible for the massive shift in the Overton Window. They didn’t do much to stop it, but they weren’t driving it.

        Gay marriage, the ACA, the Ledbetter act, more would be better, but they aren’t doing nothing.

          Theres so few accomplishments for the centrist Dems that I keep seeing Ledbetter paraded around like it was revolutionary. All Ledbetter was was an extension of the statute of limitations on another law. It should have and could have been more than that.

            None of these things should have been revolutionary, and yet they still needed laws or court cases to make them happen.

            If we didn’t have Republicans trying to drag things backwards and a bunch of idiots finding excuses to not vote for the only other candidate with a chance of winning, things could start to improve.

              Some people wont sign on to genocide whether their party will or not. Dont the christians say god over country over party or something like that? These arent idiots, and your saying they are seems a bit petulant. You cant demand the world act like you want it to, unless you are super spoiled rich? You rich, bro?
