President Obama: "When I was president, I suppose I could have simply unilaterally ordered the military to go into some red state and harass and intimidate a governor there or cut off funding for states that didn't vote for me... but that is contrary to how I think our democracy is supposed to work"

... considering the fact that in 2018 the country could have elected enough Senate Democrats that Manchin & Sinema could not have succeded in blocking the John Lewis Voting Rights Act which would have eliminated a lot of the crap we're dealing with now - but not enough people cared
