Provided that you ignore that Republicans always seem to be able to vote in lockstep and always have just enough help from elected Democrats.
You’re claiming that all republican legislation that has ever been passed, only passed because of help from democrats? That’s verifiably false.
No, I’m claiming that when Democrats have a majority, Republicans vote in lockstep and Democrats always manage to have enough turncoats.
You’re saying that you love it in all cases because they block things that might help people other than Netanyahu. I’m being more honest about your position than you just decided to be about mine. I’m leaving this conversation because you’re trying to muddy the waters and there are better dishonest centrists out there to waste my time arguing with.
In 2020 the senate was a 50/50 split with the vice president giving the democrats 1 more vote than republicans. In 2022 it was a 51/49 split giving dems only 2 more votes than republicans. The “majority” was so slim that it was not enough for the supermajority vote required for the most important legislation. And it only took 1-2 senators to not vote along party lines to block Democratic legislation.
To ignore that and pretend that dems had the power to do whatever they wanted is disingenuous.
To blame the Democratic Party for the actions of 1-2 senators that chose to go against the party is disingenuous.
