Getting both Houses

Is it possible? If we don't get absolute power against obstructionist(filibuster included), what's the point?
President Obama did the impossible with all the partisan BS he had to fight. I'm tired of blue dogs and fake democrats that ruined everything in the first two years of Obama's presidency.

"blue dogs and fake democrats that ruined everything"

I guess Republicans had nothing to do with it?

Of course they did, but we could've done it without their support which we ultimately did but with great losses in policy along the way. The President wanted bipartisan discussions, but underestimated the right hate for the American people.
