    It's so interesting to see karma get at the Republican Party in this manner.
    I honestly would like to see a much-needed makeover for the party. It'll make the USA "great again" if done.

    Overhauling the tax code (Obama finally issued an executive order to tackle corporate inversions this year)
    A Trans National Light Rail System (This was mainly killed by Republican governors)
    Infrastructure Investment/Repair
    Holding a confirmation hearing for Merrick Garland (The Senate has failed to confirm a quarter of Obama's judicial nominees, compare that to only 9% for his predecessor Bush)

    [COLOR="Red"][T]he Senate confirmed fewer of [Obama's] district and circuit nominees than every president back to Jimmy Carter, and the lowest percentage of nominees - 58% - than any president in American history at this point in a President's first term[/COLOR]. By comparison, Presidents George W. Bush, Clinton, George H.W. Bush, Reagan and Carter had 77%, 90%, 96%, 98%, and 97% of their nominees confirmed after two years, respectively.

    Senate Republicans' mass obstruction of Obama's judges stands in stark contrast to the treatment afforded to past presidents. Indeed, the Senate confirmed fewer judges during Obama's first two years in office than it did during the same period in the Carter Administration, even though the judiciary was 40 percent smaller while Carter was in office.







    Filibusters through the years:





    ^This is just the tip of the Ice Berg.

    EDIT- Just found a scoreboard (only good through 2014, doesn't touch 2016's obstruction over the Supreme court, corporate inversions, consumer protection, etc)

    Like that agenda?

    Obviously, it's not that obvious to you.

    Also, a quarter of Americans couldn't give two shits about the fate of the country as long as whoever they vote in gives them goodies... the majority of those being those same 18-29 year old kids. You know, the ones with no life experience, that still live at home, that run to safe spaces? You're telling me I disagree with them? That is a good thing.

    I believe someone a long time ago said something about when the populace realizes it can vote itself the treasury.. look it up.
