Solid majority? Senate is 50/50 (not a "majority", only Harris casts the tie breaking vote), and Democrats in the House outnumber Republicans by the slimmest margin in decades. This is hardly a majority.
Biden won only 51.3 percent of the popular vote.
Also, if Manchin will be replaced in West Virginia, it'll be by a Republican in the next election (in 2024).
Biden in 2005: "nixing the filibuster 'upsets the constitutional design' and would 'eviscerate the Senate"
Schumer in 2005: ""We are on the precipice of a crisis. A constitutional crisis. The checks and balances which have been at the core of this republic are about to be evaporated by the nuclear option," Schumer said, referencing an option to eliminate the filibuster, during a 2005 speech. "The checks and balances which say that if you get 51% of the vote, you don’t get your way 100% of the time."
The hypocrisy of the left is profound.
- redis_mlc 5y ago> The hypocrisy of the left is profound. It's definitely a mass delusion. Do you have any analysis on what is wrong with the left? The only theories I've seen are that extremists have seized control of Democratic policy (hence Biden doing a 180 the day after every policy announcement), and their supporters getting all their news from an echo chamber. (Sending Biden on an international trip was elder abuse in his senile condition.)
