The capitulation of Senate Democrats in ending the government shutdown without healthcare concessions has sparked outrage. Calls for new leadership and primary challenges are growing. The fight for a Democratic Party that truly fights back continues.

The more seats the more we can do.

It’s all in this handy guide: https://www.ducksters.com/history/us_legislative_branch.php

    Not when Dems always have the needed number of turncoats no matter what the situation!

    Need two, don't worry, two will fall on the sword and make it (not) happen!

    Need 8? 2 who are retiring and 6 who don't have a re election coming up will make it (not) happen!

    Anything to stop too much progress from being made!

    They've had enough seats to fix these problems plenty of times, but chose not to. They've had majorities twice that I can remember, and spent the entire time building out the systems that the current administration is using.

    So once again I ask: How is it helping to have more seats?
