It plays into the hands of those who want to amplify the myth that "Dems are feckless and ineffective" (what better way to demonstrate it than by doing what you're asking??) This solves nothing. It achieves nothing.

What is your "proposed strategy" ... that's conveniently vague. What strategy will be effective by a minority party that will force the majority GOP to comply with our wishes?

Please continue. I'm all ears.
