    That might have made sense in 2013 but we’ve had less than 50 dems every congress since then

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

    A better solution is to just give Dems 60.

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

    You really think Republicans better represent you?

    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.
