Harris is rolling out her agenda. She'll need a Democratic Congress to pass it.
I always forget that people don't know this is how it works.
We had a majority of exactly 1 vote in the Senate and it was Joe fucking Manchin.
People: Why didn't Democrats accomplish more progressive things?
Like, you've seen what Republicans want to pass, right??
Ugh Manchin is lower than snake shit. I wish him as much ill as it is legal to openly declare.
There are always enough Manchins.
Once we finally get a Dem Congress and POTUS then we'll get universal healthcare, right? Right?
Nope, sorry... we'd need actual progressives to get that done.
If I remember right, the Affordable Care Act passed the Senate 60-39 along party lines on December 24, 2009, and passed the House 219-212. That's really ragged edge stuff. Universal healthcre was considered, but too many votes would have been lost to pass a resolution which incorporated it. They did what they could.
sorry, best I can do is insulin coupons
I mean, maybe. Exactly how Dem is this Congress? Because we're gonna have to have enough Dems that we can lose a few and still win the vote.
Unless, of course, you think we can get some Republicans on board. It's almost like the main problem isn't the few Dems that won't play along, like Manchin and Lieberman. Maybe the main issue is Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), JD Vance (R-OH), and Marsha Blackburn (R-TN), and the fact that I could have listed 47 other Republicans here, and that's just if I stick to the Senate.
