      Yeah. Republicans held enough power to obstruct the government like they do, and you fell for them blaming Dems like you do.

        People have to actually vote blue first.

        Democrats won the Presidency and both houses in 2020. So obviously people did vote blue.

        Your response is to then say that doesn’t matter, and we can’t blame the poor Dems for that.

        Unless your point is to state there’s no point to voting for the Democrats, but you think they mean well, you’re contradicting yourself.

          So you’re gonna pretend the republican party isn’t actively obstructive to the point the only way the Democratic party platform passes legislation is with a supermajority while asking why they weren’t able to do something they didn’t have the numbers to do in the first place. Bad faith or ignorance, your argument is built on a false premise.

            Hey my little 7th grade civics students, how many votes would removing the filibuster require?

            the only way the Democratic party platform passes legislation is with a supermajority

            So again, your argument is that voting for Democrats is a waste of time? Because that’s what you keep saying here.

                You mean that 50 votes plus VP was enough to remove the filibuster, had the Democrats wanted to?

                I keep doubling down on facts. I’m sorry that those are not supporting your fantasy world where you, the enlightened centrist, are proven right.
