Dems had a supermajority trifecta in 2021 as well.

The biggest thing the Dems did during the Obama years was pass the "heritage foundation healthcare plan".

If you want to defend a system you should at least have a basic understanding of what it does.

    Objectively false lmao, now we're just lying?

    They couldn't even break fillabuster let alone a supermajority. I'll give the benefit of the doubt in case you're unaware, but a supermajority does not mean holding just a majority. It is holding 2/3rds of the seats. Allowing for amendments to the constitution to be passed or to override a presidential veto.

    A fillabuster proof majority is holding 60 senate seats.

    A simple majority is not enough to even call a vote if the other side blocks

    Please at least Google before confidently trying to call others ignorant
