      They had 50 for biden’s first two years. At least, those are the numbers when you aren’t playing stupid dishonest semantic games and not counting two independents who caucus with democrats.

      And since you’re going to go there if I don’t head it off right now, Lieberman was not in the senate during those two years, so pivoting to him like he isn’t one of your personal heroes for working with centrist democrats like Ben Nelson to kill the public option isn’t relevant. I’m saying this because you tried to pull that shit last time I called you out on this “tHeY oNlY hAd 48” lie.

        The 117th Congress was controlled by Republicans in 2021 until after special elections which had from 46 up to 48 DNC along with 2 IND Bernie Sanders and Angus King caucusing allowing DNC to pick majority speaker even though Republicans held more seats.

        The DNC have not had more than 48 in over 13 years.

          Thank you for detailing the stupid dishonest semantic games I mentioned. The two independents you’re not counting because it makes your party look as bad as it is? They weren’t the turncoats. The turncoats both had a D in parentheses after their names and therefore your unquestioning support until they left the party.

            I’m glad you’re at least admitting how stupid dishonest your semantic games are.

                    You can demonstrably make up bullshit faster than I can dispute it, I’ve countered every claim you’ve made about policy and representation with verifiable facts, that speaks volumes about both our positions on the political spectrum.
