Very good practical example and explanation. I would note that Obamacare unfolded the way it did because extraneous circumstances meant they only had the senators they needed for the vote for 4 months. They had a very short window to get it through at all and concessions had to be made.

Dems are far from perfect, but we shouldn’t put Republican obstructionism on their heads. That’s what has ruined our nation the past 50 years.

Also, fuck cars.
