    Dems win if voter turn out is too high, so Republican block attempts to make it a day off. So why didn’t Biden push it through when Dems last had the house and the senate?

      Because they’ve never had the senate. You need 60 votes to get past the fillabuster and to fix THAT you’d need Sinama and Manchin to agree to that.

      I think that’s only been 4 months out of the last 50 years, and I bet there was some pretty fundamental stuff to unfuck first. And then they ran out of time.

      Because Dems need something to cry about every cycle. They could do so many things if they actually wanted to.
