Also, the majority party in congress really has no power either. It is only the minority party that has the power unless the minority party is democratic, then the minority party has no power.
Therefore, if the republicans gain power they will have absolute control and be able to do many bad things. The democrats really do want to do something, but they can't, because a couple of years ago they only controlled the House, Senate, and Presidency. Now however they can't do anything because they only control the Senate and Presidency, but the republicans control the House so the democrats have to do everything the republicans want. Which they also had to do when the republicans were also a minority in the House.
Therefore, if you do not vote the democrats back in and allow them to control both houses of congress and the presidency the republicans will do bad things and then things will be really bad, even though the democrats really can't do good things when they control everything.
I posted this at Slobber and Spittle and I liked it so much I expanded it and then posted it here.

This really does capture the seeming powerlessness of progressives these days. We do this to ourselves, by excusing the crummy performance of our own politicians as being inevitable.
It's almost as though being a progressive is a symptom of low self-esteem.
