Elections no longer matter any more
When we had strong majorities a "democratic" platform was very difficult to pass.
When Republicans control ONE damn house, they can push their agenda.
I can explain that for you, my dear Needinabrewski:
For you, "Pushing your agenda" means passing a massive slate of legislation to overturn a perfectly-well-functioning society, destroying Capitalism and creating a world not unlike Vonnegut's short story about the Handicapper General, with the worst features of the Citizens' Committees in post-Revolution/Pre-Consular France.
For us, "Pushing our agenda" just means keeping you from destroying the country any more than you already have, with the cherry on top being a modest rollback of some of your crazier spendthrift programs.
I do have to say that lately it has appeared to me that a never-ending accretion of overlapping Federal regulations and regulatory agencies may be an even bigger threat to our long-term prosperity than your rapacious social engineering and taxation plans, however the GOP itself has yet to focus any significant energy on that problem.
