Actually, it is factored in by Dudes like me.
If my enemies are doing something that is going to hurt me, then that'll be expected because they are my enemies. It's my supposed friends that are surprising, because why? Because they aren't supposed to hurt their friends (constituents). We've been friendly to them for over 50 years. We've been loyal for over 50 years.
It's easy to say, "We can't help you because the people on the other side of the aisle keep blocking us from doing such and such." Okay, but it seems to me that the other side of the aisle gets their shit passed, and a lot of times you (Dems) are on board with it.
For example, How come we don't have police reform? Under Obama the Dems had the the Presidency, The House, and the Senate at one point. No police reform. Were the Repugs blocking them then? How come we don't have some type of movement on police reform now? We have a Dem President. Black people are still getting messed around with. What's stopping them from at least "introducing" a bill? Hell, I take a bill that says, "Anytime a policeman put on his uniform, his camera must be turned on."
There's nothing disingenuous about this... it's simple logic.
