[QUOTE="Frank Underwood, post: 36589, member: 35"] Yes, there is a a wonderful sense of irony knowing that the guy who led the birther movement is now having the legitimacy of his presidency questioned. However, I think Democrats should focus more on mobilizing against Trump's extremist agenda, while supporting the policies that would actually benefit people. It would show that they are above partisan politics. Republicans, on the other hand, obstructed policies they agreed with simply because they came from Obama. There's a time to obstruct and a time to support the president, which Democrats should be focused on. Fair enough. Everybody has to decide what they're able to tolerate for themselves. Social programs tend to fair better under Democrats, but it's interesting to me that the Clintons exploded the prison population, gutted welfare, and supported anti gay legislation. Obama, on the other hand, made the Bush tax cuts permanent, expanded the NSA's surveillance capabilities, and started wars of his own. And this election, the DNC worked to undermine the progressive candidate in favor of the moderate corporatist. So from my perspective, it's getting progressively (pun intended) more difficult to distinguish the Democrats from the Republicans. [/QUOTE]
