To me that was the only decent episode . That felt very much like 24 , to an otherwise down to earth season . <| sep |> Ha that ' s awesome . Can ' t believe I missed this . Especially considering I ' m Irish . <| sep |> So instead we have a system that disproportionately represents rural areas , so the concerns of cities are overlooked in the same way . How is that better ? <| sep |> You should come down to the US , banks will give you those bills for a small , nominal fee . I think it ' s about $ 10 . Also , don ' t get in the habit of having the people you love owe you money . It often doesn ' t work out . <| sep |> Next you should learn how the political process works . Yeah . I have a degree in political science and you couldn ' t even remember the Democrats had total control of Congress from 20092011 . It was less than 6 years ago . There are no revolutions , things change incrementally . Actually , the 111 th Congress I was referencing above is recognized as one of the most productive in history and , certainly , the most productive Congress since Lyndon Johnson passed his Great Society programs . They passed some major legislation in a very short amount of time including the Fair Pay Act , SCHIP reauthorization , the stimulus , Obamacare , DoddFrank wall street reform , the Fair Sentencing Act , extended unemployment during the recession , repealed don ' t ask don ' t tell , and passed the Food Safety and Modernization Act . Those are just the big ones and disprove your things change incrementally bullshit line . That was massive change in less than 2 years time . We had a good candidate , the most prepared candidate in history . She wasn ' t perfect enough for you and other purists , and we lost because of that . No you did not have the most prepared candidate in history . Clinton has never held an executive level government position , which is generally considered the position that most prepares one for the presidency , had a very thin resume as a senator , and a questionable stint as SoS . She was such a flawed candidate she lost to a marketing whiz and reality TV show star , with no government or military experience we ' ve only had 4 presidents with no prior government experience and they were all generals , with the last 2 being Eisenhower and Grant that ' s how rare it is , Trump being the first US President without either in his background . Lastly , I ' m an extremely socially liberal Republican who voted Libertarian to see if they could get to 5 % and get public funds in 2020 . Not sure what you even mean when you call me a purist . At this point , you should probably stop because I don ' t think you know what you ' re talking about and you don ' t really have any credibility left .
