    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.
