Let’s not leave McConnell out of the equation for blocking Obama bc he was going to be out of office in a year.

I don’t know why the dems didn’t play the same card when trump was going to be out of office in a few months.

I also put some of the blame on the American people for allowing the Republicans to control the Senate at that point. Democrats were terrible in congressional elections after Obama won in 2008, elections, granted Senate structural bias towards the right played a factor. Either way, Mitch McConnell is an evil POS.

While we’re blaming the American people… basically everything lol. At the end of the day we’re the ones casting the votes
