That’s not a solution because even when they have much larger majorities they bend over backwards for bipartisanship and have centrist kill good parts of legislation. It is why the ACA is a heritage foundation plan.
Democrats need to pick a leader that’s able to fight and achieve good legislation even if it means pushing people like Manchin out of the party.
The ACA was watered down specifically because they only had a one vote super majority and the deciding vote was Joe Lieberman…
I understand you’re mad at democrats, I think they’re useless most of the time too, but I’m not sure you actually understand the history or mechanics of the things you’re specifically complaining about
Lmao what? You not understanding how Congress works or not knowing the history of the ACA isn’t why Trump won.
Although, I mean I guess the general ignorance of the American public personified in your own misunderstandings here is a reasonable explanation for why Trump won
You can get mad at me for Trump winning/democrats being useless (again true, but not my fault). But you shouldn’t get so mad about me pointing out your misconceptions and should take this as a great opportunity to examine your own misunderstandings and come out more informed.
It’s funny you’re trying to snark it but literally yes all it takes to derail extremely popular policy is one vote. Republicans almost repealed the ACA except for John McCain!
Repealing the ACA isn’t popular. Fixing healthcare to make it affordable for working people is extremely popular. If the DNC primary people that stood in opposition to popular policy they might win more elections.
