Divide and conquer. And it's working to a charm.

I don't think it can be brought together. You cannot reason with Republicans and right-wing Democrats, you have to roll over them via the ballot box; vote in progressives who will move the country forward, rebuild the social safety net, save the country from oligarchy. Hopefully Obama has learned his lesson about trying to work with American fascists and will ignore them, and the voting populace will be smart enough to vote in a majority liberal House and Senate.

You have your parties mixed up. Or maybe it's a case of projection

Let all of the bush era tax cuts expire, once tgats done you can use tax cuts as a bargaining chip. Democrats can say that Republicans didn't support middle class tax cuts, if they vote down a bill with a return to the previous tax rate of this year. Doesn't matter what else is in the bill, they wouldn't dare vote against a tax cut.

Liberals and Democrats have never been known for extraordinary foresight. Seeing beyond their own noses would be an excellent start.

Yeah, we know they're going to block everything, it's not like you had an original thought there

What the Democrats do is just ram everything through and screw the Republicans. I doubt they will though, most likely we'll just hear more of the working together looking forward not backwards bull****. You cannot work with somebody who wants America to fail and that's what the Republicans want. They want America to fail. And I'm not being sarcastic, they want America to fail

This is what we will do when the music stops,

- Raise taxes on every citizen
- Reform Medicare and Social security (less benefits)

Not true. Democrats have never wanted what is best for the nation. They have only sought to destroy the nation, including starting a Civil War to accomplish that end. Everything Democrats have ever done has only harmed the nation, which has always been their primary goal.
