      Because you still need the Senate. The GOP almost always votes as one since it’s almost always about benefiting the rich. When the Democrats “had power” they had 2 Republicans “Democrats” that would always vote against them whenever it was something that would help people that aren’t billionaires.

      I wish I wasn’t an atheist so I could believe Manchin and Sinema would rot in hell when they die. :/

  sad thing is that’s exactly what they’re doing. Schumer said at the beginning of the term that the dems were gonna comply with everything, and when everyone called them and told them to grow a spine, schumer whined about how people wanted him to do something
