    If only the pesky Congress were majority Democrat seats, like in the first part of his presidency!! But wait, even then it doesn't count because those gosh darn rotating villains in the party foil the vote every time!! Do not ask why they are allowed to remain in the party and retain their committee seats if they're directly stopping the things the party and president want to get done, that's Ruzzian propaganda!!

        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"

      Sinema left the party and they still let her keep her committee seats. It's the easiest form of punishment for politicians who don't fall in line, but they just don't do it.
