    It honestly doesn’t matter what Congress has the authority to do at this point. They lack the capacity. Once we get a solid Dem majority, then we can start exploring what Congress can do.

      Once we get a solid Dem majority

      We had that in 2008 for four years. Turns out they can’t do much at all.

        No we didn’t. We had it for a few months, and we got the greatest expansion of health insurance in modern history.

          Are you confusing the words “majority” and “supermajority”? Because Democrats did have a solid majority for four years. Democrats had a supermajority for a few months.

            I used the vague term “solid majority” because it depends on what legislation you’re trying to get passed. Supermajority is great, but reconciliation only requires a simple majority iirc.

                  Dude you legitimately confused the terms majority and supermajority. Is English your first language or is it Russian?

                    Nice projection rofl

                    I like that you realized I was about to call you out again for being a Russian shill pot-stirrer so you tried to head me off, even though it doesn’t make any damn sense.
