    Dems had a supermajority in 2021 as well.

    The biggest thing the Dems did during the Obama years was pass the “heritage foundation healthcare plan”.

    If you want to defend a system you should at least have a basic understanding of what it does.

      Objectively false lmao, now we’re just lying?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/117th_United_States_Congress

      They couldn’t even break fillabuster let alone a supermajority. I’ll give the benefit of the doubt in case you’re unaware, but a supermajority does not mean holding just a majority. It is holding 2/3rds of the seats. Allowing for amendments to the constitution to be passed or to override a presidential veto.

      A fillabuster proof majority is holding 60 senate seats.

      A simple majority is not enough to even call a vote if the other side blocks

      Please at least Google before confidently trying to call others ignorant
