    They want the Democrats to ignore the parliamentarian and include these changes in a reconciliation bill, which only requires a simple majority. It’s not a real solution, just a way to blame Democrats more. The main problem is the people voting down good legislation, not that the ones in favor “aren’t trying hard enough”.

      yeah this attitude of you should be able to circumvent the other party and you even get ones who are like well republicans do illegal shit so democrats should to to get their way. Its like um, if they did I would not want to vote for them (really did not bs, hot air, claiming they did type stuff (of implying they are going to))

        I wouldn’t actually have a problem with them sidestepping the parliamentarian, but acting like it’s the lynch pin to regularly getting good legislation passed is silly.

            It’s dysfunctional because a near majority of Congress is specifically there to make the entire thing dysfunctional. Using loopholes does absolutely nothing to fix that core issue. Getting rid of Conservatives does.

              completely agree. do I 100% love the dems. no. do I 100% need to see republicans as a party go. yup. we are not going to be able to pull any more left till we eliminate right dysfunction. protest voting is just gonna send us more right. although not even right just crazy.
