even from their perspective, the senate and congress WAS filled with democrats in 2021 and they blew it anyway.
First time I ever voted the Dems got a supermajority, possibly the best thing they could get via voting, and proceeded to checks notes pass Romneycare and drop bombs on weddings.
No, but a Dem had to go to the hospital, and the Democrats are the only party that has no means of enforcing party discipline. That is why liberals having a majority in all three branches of government can't produce any results. If only we had 70 senators, so that finally the 60 real and good democrats can out-vote all the 10 Manchins and Libermans, then we can finally do real progressive reforms and reign in the War On Terror.
70 senators? where are you going to find 11 Manchins?!
Sorry, I meant once the Democrats get 93 seats in the Senate. Then there will finally be 60 real Democrats to outvote the 33 Manchins.
but the part i don't understand is, how 93 seats can fit all 34 manchins plus the 60 votes to overcome them all?
There you loony lefties go again making the perfect the enemy of the good. We need to band together to pass the funding increase for the Manchinite death squads and THEN we will worry about reigning in the mandatory organ harvesting laws NEXT ELECTION when we win the 94 seats we need to really change things.
Oh, sorry, that is right. The Democrats would need all 100 seats, so that there will be 60 real democrats to outvote the 40 Manchins. Also, we would need the Parlimentarian, and the Puerto Rican, and the DC non-voting representatives, so that the three of them could scold the 41st Manchin into voting with the Democrats.
No no you're not getting it, we're going to get one Republican to vote for it, by offering an extensive series of preemptive concessions in the legislation!
