So you're gonna pretend the republican party isn't actively obstructive to the point the only way the Democratic party platform passes legislation is with a supermajority while asking why they weren't able to do something they didn't have the numbers to do in the first place. Bad faith or ignorance, your argument is built on a false premise.

Hey my little 7th grade civics students, how many votes would removing the filibuster require?

the only way the Democratic party platform passes legislation is with a supermajority

So again, your argument is that voting for Democrats is a waste of time? Because that's what you keep saying here.

You just keep doubling down on your social media understanding of politics don't you?

You mean that 50 votes plus VP was enough to remove the filibuster, had the Democrats wanted to?

I keep doubling down on facts. I'm sorry that those are not supporting your fantasy world where you, the enlightened centrist, are proven right.
