We didn't have the votes, he says. That's always the excuse. If it weren't that, it would but who's gonna pay for it!?
Fuck Obama. I didn't think I could hate this man more until he wrote this stupid book and the recent obsession with his cult of personality being pushed through liberal mainstream media and talking about his LEGACY. As far as I'm concerned, the fact he was replaced by a reality TV star who was screaming for his birth certificate a decade ago, is absolutely a part of his legacy.
I was getting into it with a liberal who used that same excuse. I brought up how every state that had legalization on the ballot, voted for it in a majority. This included some "red states" since they love to put things into logic of silly color coded maps.
Florida is a red state and they voted for $15 minimum wage.
That's 2 very popular ideas the Democratic party could adopt and try, and it would get people to vote for them. But no. They don't have the votes for that, and who's going to pay for it!? Lord forbid we tax the billionaires and Silicon Valley tech oligarchs that donate to the party.

"I know it's incredibly popular and supported by 80% of the population, but we just don't have the votes for it!"
"Yes, we're a democracy, why do you ask?"

He literally brought it about by taunting Trump at the White House Correspondents' Dinner in 2011.
