    Democrats have not had a filibuster-proof majority for almost 20 years.

    Sometimes I think Americans don’t know how democracy works. You can’t blame a party for not passing stuff, if you don’t give that party the power to pass stuff.

      Stop using the filibuster as an excuse for democrats blocking what you want blocked. They could have ended the filibuster for good with a simple majority any time they had one.

      Sometimes I wish the genocide wing could come up with a new way to gaslight people who say things they don’t want to hear.

      As not an american I am almost certain you don’t know how a real democracy works. A two party system is not democratic and majority are not healthy long term, if you want proof look at the us and the uk more recently. Coalitions are common and more democratic the world over.
