Fargus And Obstructionism

Fargus takes exception to "Democrat obstructionism", preferring the terms "defense" and "survival".

I agree that the Democrats are in a defensive struggle for their survival.

The Democrats' alternative ideas were rejected in the last presidential election. Perhaps, they now feel they can escape future rejection and criticism by not advancing any ideas at all.

Regardless of the nomenclature used, opposition for opposition’s sake is still “obstructionism”.

Read more here about “A Party Without Ideas” whose “reactionary liberalism” keeps them hanging on “to the status quo at all costs”.
