Bernie Sanders is Right About Republican Obstruction.

But what about the Democrats who aid and abet it?

I’m sure I’m not alone, especially lately, in feeling particularly frustrated with the state of gridlock that continues to plague Washington D.C., preventing virtually anything from getting done. Among those who also seems to be taking issue with the current state of affairs is none other than Vermont Bernie Sanders.

Recently, an article in The Nation went in to detail regarding the Vermont Senator’s thoughts on not only the Republican obstruction, but how Democrats should respond, and quoted him saying:

“If Republicans don’t want to cooperate and help us seriously address the many crises we’re facing today…then, yes, we have to move forward without them to rebuild our crumbling infrastructure and create millions of good-paying, union jobs.”

We have to move forward without them.

Interesting, isn’t it, how all too often we hear from not only those among the pundit class or lawmakers themselves, but even loyal liberal voters that Democrats have no choice but to make concessions to the Republican party and go along…
