“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"
