Re: As per usual
In other words - it doesn't matter how many elections progressives win, because the government doesn't operate by majority rule.
Perhaps progressives aren't winning as much as you believe:

Maybe, but this is the 2010 election. The current congress is the result of the 2008 election which progressives very definitely did win.
Do you believe in majority rule, Coyote? I recall the conservative mantra a few short years ago was "elections have consequences", but we seem to live in a country where elections have no consequences.
