It's easy writing a bill knowing it won't pass just so you can say "look see it's the Republicans fault". Well not really..........because since you continually pretend to act like you know how American government works (but in fact, don't).........Democrats could get more than 50 seats in the Senate, but there are still rules on the filibuster. And since I'm almost certain you have absolutely no idea what happened during the Barack Obama years, there was a brief time in which Democrats had control of the Senate, but not a filibuster-proof supermajority (more than 60 seats). So Republicans blocked everything as well back then (go look at filibuster statistics graphs and watch them explode beginning in 2011) So, if Democrats really wanted to pass the type of bills they wanted, they would have to begin the next Senate session, and alter the overly generous filibuster rules to make everything a simple majority to bring bills to a vote and pass them. And when that happens, people like Saucer will immediately scream bloody-murder and say its the most treasonous thing that has ever been done, by anybody, ever. (and pretend to act like as if its actually true). Link to post Share on other sites

If i could make a duplicate of you you would argue with that duplicate for eternity, even if you are agreeing with yourself you would find something to nitpick and continue arguing.
