This action would require a simple majority in the House, a 3/5 majority in the Senate, and either the presidency or increasing both of those to 2/3 majorities. The last time the Dems had that much power was 2010. Is it really surprising that folks are unwilling to accept a decade or more of giving the GOP whatever they want?

- amalcon 3y agoThe political reality is quite a bit more complicated than that, but frankly I don't want to get into it both because this isn't the right place and because it's depressing. Cheers, though; hopefully we can still find a way to avoid that worst case.
