I guess I am truly leftist after formerly being a lib, something I believed when I was just a liberal:

That Democrats couldn’t get things done because of Republicans.

Dont get me wrong, Republicans are happy to get in the way when they are able, and they go out of their way to do so.

But I also feel now that Democrats don’t get things done to keep up the illusion that they are unable to force things through because of the Republicans, so their base hates Rs.

I now honestly think that Dems intentionally self-sabotage to maintain the status quo.
