But when the 111th congress voted on Public Option Healthcare it came up 1 vote short because the Caucusing Independent Joe Liebermen voted Nay alongside every republican.
They effectively didn’t have 60, despite the caucus.
yeah that’s exactly my point, hence my original comment about general election majority not meaning anything without voting for actual progressives if not leftists in primaries
it doesn’t, i repeated the same thing. you can’t vote harder in general elections to make change without voting local and in primaries for actual progressives first. let’s see if someone gets confused again so I can rephrase the same thing a fourth time
that’s distinction without difference. Bernie is independent, Sinema and Manchin were democrats. getting democratic seats no matter who it is won’t change anything.
it wasn’t because he’s independent. it’s because he’s joe fucking lieberman, obama’s best bud… again, Sinema and Manchin were democrats. they still fucked over progressives.

Your point seems to contradict your earlier point

Every DNC voted Yay for actual progressive policy.
I’m saying we need to put 60 of them in the Senate, and you made some stupid point about how 58 of them is basically 60.

LITERALLY WAS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINGLE PAYER AND THE ACA
1 INDEPENDENT VOTE
it wasn’t because he’s independent. it’s because he’s joe fucking lieberman, obama’s best bud… again, Sinema and Manchin were democrats. they still fucked over progressives.
