    Once we get a solid Dem majority

    We had that in 2008 for four years. Turns out they can’t do much at all.

      No we didn’t. We had it for a few months, and we got the greatest expansion of health insurance in modern history.

        Are you confusing the words “majority” and “supermajority”? Because Democrats did have a solid majority for four years. Democrats had a supermajority for a few months.

          I used the vague term “solid majority” because it depends on what legislation you’re trying to get passed. Supermajority is great, but reconciliation only requires a simple majority iirc.

                Dude you legitimately confused the terms majority and supermajority. Is English your first language or is it Russian?

                  Nice projection rofl

                  I like that you realized I was about to call you out again for being a Russian shill pot-stirrer so you tried to head me off, even though it doesn’t make any damn sense.

                    You clearly don’t have a firm grasp on the English language so…

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
