I backed him into a corner about obamas super majority and not following through on his promises and the best I can get is “idk why they didn’t” lol
Uhhhhh Anyway vote blue no matter who!!
“idk why they didn’t”
We both know the real reason but if you want to remind him what he's supposed to believe, I remember the propaganda back then. The Democrats were "attempting to be bipartisan" by letting "Republicans provide input" on their policies. Prevailing wisdom from the talking heads and adults in the room was that it was the way government was "supposed to work", and if Republicans ever had one "they would do the same"
Impressive of the talking heads of the day to get this out with a straight face lol
joe lieberman was too powerful for them.
