Thom, If the Democrats and progressives in America want to move forward they need to be much more aggressive in Congress. Milk Toast Harry Reed looks like a Quaker in the middle of a war zone, he is completely and grossly ineffective in leading the Senate.
Every time we get a Republican President or Congress, they play hard ball and ram through legislation like their last tax cut and their appointment of radical judges to the Supreme Court like Roberts and Alito. I can't even remember the last time that the Democrats used the filibuster in the Senate.
