What's curious is your lack of understanding of how our government works.

You're completely ignoring the fact that Republicans were able to obstruct because they gained House, and then Senate, majority during Obama's terms. Democrats do not have majority in either chamber of Congress right now. So your comment is senseless.

Actually, I guess you're not ignoring. You're simply unaware, because you don't know how things work. And yet you're being upvoted by others who also don't know how things work.

EDIT: 6 downvotes as of right now and not a single one of them had the balls or brains to counter what I said. In other words, 6 individuals ignorant of how our government works and completely fine with that. Holy fuck, we really need mandatory civics classes in our schools. So many people with no clue how things work. I guess that's why a felon rapist traitor is our president.

They were able to water down the ACA into near uselessness without any majority. At the start it was a Republican vision of healthcare, and they still watered it down because brown man bad. I do understand that they gained power in the midterms which allowed them to do even more obstruction but to claim that Democrats could have just done ANYTHING they wanted because they had the 3 branches is patently false. And yet.... Here we are. Dems are largely rolling over and letting the GOP run roughshod over the gov. Not utilizing the abomination of the filibuster for any good, still confirming cabinet members, still treating with traitor and conmen.
