    democrats had a majority. They chose not to use it

    for how long, crab? And why was the ACA enacted then? Was that the dems choosing not to use anything?

    maybe this is why the dems never enact anything, because when they do americans flip out and start things like the Tea party.

      And why was the ACA enacted then?

      I was talking about the majority that democrats didn’t use during the first half of the biden administration. You know this, but since you’ve decided to pivot, let’s talk about the ACA. The original version had a public option and no individual mandate. It was a heritage foundation policy, and that was before democrats nerfed it. Centrists have been coasting on a neutered heritage foundation policy for 15 years now.

      We gave democrats the house, the senate, and the presidency in 2020. They chose not to use it. Now pretend I’m talking about something else. You know better, but that won’t stop you.

          This will be the second time you’ve attempted to change the subject in as many comments.

          But since you brought up the filibuster, why haven’t democrats used it since trump took office?

              One that you brought up because you don’t want to talk about the ACA anymore for some reason. Keep changing the subject in defense of the party that sells your favorite person weapons for your favorite activity.

                  At this point, I don’t know what you’re talking about. You just seem determined to change the subject.

                    the original topic was mitch mconnell filibustering his own bill when obama approved it. because they are not a real political party, just obstructionists who funnel money to rich people. (and support racism such as things like ‘private schools’ IE segregation.)

                    that was the point, learn your history my guy before you start blathering.
