    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.
