“Obama had a majority in both houses for two years. He didn’t want to get anything done, just like Pelosi. Stop deluding yourself that anyone in DC is acting in your best interests.” You seem very combative; the assumptions about me alone are a bit much. I don’t think anyone in DC’s acting in my best interests. Obama had a majority in both houses for two years? So what didn’t he have for the other 6? A majority, hence he ruled by executive decree, much like Trump. Can you see how you’re not actually disagreeing with me?
“Pelosi knew that impeachment would only help Trump” Why do you think that? His approval ratings have stayed fairly constant throughout the process. And, more to the point, why aren’t you using your psychic powers to solve crimes?
“Meanwhile, both parties sell us out to their corporate paymasters, and let the military industrial complex dictate our foreign policy.” I’d tend to agree but: you think Trump’s letting the traditional military industrial complex dictate his foreign policy? Really? If so the military industrial complex are absolute (EDIT: apologies for the prior language) idiots. Trump’s foreign policy, so far, has resembled a roulette wheel, not the careful coordination one would expect from industrial paymasters. If you’d said that about Bush/Obama then, again, I’d agree, Trump though? Not so much.
“Pelosi’s faux-resistance may be fooling you, but she has no intention of actually standing in Trump’s way.” With great power comes great responsibility and you’re clearly a Professor Xavier level telepath so I think you should probably form the X men at this point. Not only do you apparently know what I think, you also know what Pelosi thinks. You have amazing powers my friend. Use them to do something truly amazing.
Notice how I don’t think I ever assumed any of your thoughts and only asked what I thought were quite reasonable questions. You’ve still not answered my main question (and I’ve responded to all of your points): what more could Pelosi do?
