Good legislation, bad legislation, it quite frankly didn't matter what Obama suggested, the GOP was going to do the opposite just to spite him and show their constituents they are "anti-Obama". How else can you explain how they are already gearing up to stop any SCOTUS nomination BEFORE any nominee has ever been announced. All of those pricks should lose their positions come election time. Hopefully the Senate and House can regain some positions back.

Look at this shit. A piece of shit Senator filibustering his OWN legislation.

McConnell Filibusters His Own Bill To Lift Debt Ceiling


That said, Obama is still a shitty ass President and deserves his share of the ill will towards the shit that's gone on the past 7 years.

The same was true of Democrats with Bush.

It's all part and parcel of the same forces that are leading to Sanders and Trump making strong waves.

I like the 2 party system far more than the fragmented block system used in a lot of places, but our problem is that the 2 parties we have are too entrenched in power, so the parties that spring up are normally on the outside fringe (tea party, green, etc.) There is a place for a middle ground party that espouses moderate social, moral and fiscal policy and could garner enough votes to wedge itself between liberal democrats and conservative republicans. I would LOVE to see Sanders and Trump nominated, hoping that it would bring a coalition of moderates, left and right, together to form a new faction/party. I also want star trek transporters...

the problem with first past the pole (winner take all) voting systems (like we have) is that eventually, they always end up with exactly two parties. in order to build up a viable third or fourth party, you'd need to switch to proportional representation (ie, libertarians get 20% of the votes, they get 20% of the seats).
