    CHIPS Act

    Passed with 17 Republican senators.

    Inflation Reduction Act

    Was literally the renegotiated and severely cut down version of the Build Back Better Act.

    ACA

    Was filibustered for years and only passed in reconciliation as a watered down version filled with pork for private insurance.

    Lina Khan as head of FTC

    21 Republican senators voted to affirm her…

    The problem with Democrats is that there are always around 3-4 of them that will reliably vote with Republicans on most issues. The build back better deal was killed by Joe manchin and krystin simea. The ACA was allowed to be fillibustered to death by a couple pro life senators for years. All these bills were already watered down to entice Republicans before they hit the floor, Republicans still refuse to play ball every time, and the next bill Democrats still fall over themselves to reach across the isle every bill.

    The DNC is just unwilling to whip their party members into shape like the Republicans.
