How much of a mandate was blue given in 2020-22? 50+1 in the senate, when 50 republicans opposed green energy and corporate reform, and 1 dem opposed green energy, and 1 dem opposed corporate reform?

Imagine if there were just 1 or 2 more blue senators. Elections matter.

There would be one or two more rotating villans.

If your claim that that electing the Democrats did nothing, I don't disagree with you.

Imagine if there were just 1 or 2 more blue senators.

I don't have to imagine it - we saw it in 2008. We also saw the same results from the Democrats then, with the same rotating villain play to pretend they had no power. Only difference was it was Lieberman instead of Manchin.
