    That might have made sense in 2013 but we’ve had less than 50 dems every congress since then so you’re just handing the keys to the Republicans. That sort of foresight is exactly why nobody has done it.

    A better solution is to just give Dems 60.

    What are you afraid of?! You really think Republicans better represent you?

      We had 50 from 2020-2022. We gave them the seats. They squandered their majority. Because that’s what Democrats do.

      We did that in 2008. They found enough no votes. They always do.

      I think they better represent you.

        We actually didn’t have 50 in 2020-2022. We only had Dem majority with caucusing independents.

              Oh christ. We’re done. Saying that democrats had a majority when their caucus had a majority isn’t a blatant lie. It wasn’t the independents that voted with republicans.

              It was democrats who voted like you wanted them to.
