Why, WHY, did the Dems never run against the Do-nothing Republican Congress? [View all]

Am I wrong? Since 2008 the Republicans first filibustered, and then, since 2010, straight-out blocked every Obama initiative to strengthen the economy, especially to provide jobs. And the Democrats have said about this-zilch. Not Obama, not any swing state candidate for house or senate, and not (most important) Hillary Clinton.

Look, the average American doesn't even know what Congress does, and certainly not which party controls Congress. It's up to us to tell them. (The media? Forget it.).

Instead, this election became all about the "status quo" (us) versus "change" (Trump).

The real change would have been Hillary Clinton with a Democratic congress. Then you might see an infrastructure program run by someone like Ohio's Sherood Brown, who could steer projects towards rural and rust belt counties.

But no one ever talked about that.

In 1948 Harry S Truman won re-election by placing emphasis on the Do Nothing Republican Confress.

In 2012 Joe Biden summarized things in 9 words: Bin Laden is dead and GM is alive.

And in 2016? It seems to me that the Republicans Congress got a free pass. Even though they were pretty open about their intention to wreck the economy if it would make Obama look like a failure and help elect a ARepublican in 2016. And it worked... in part because we kept it secret.

Am I wrong?

Look, this is no rant against Hillary, the problem goes back many years in different forms. But it is definitely a rant. It has really been bugging me. I wish I was wrong.
