    Dems need all 3 (presidency, house of reps, Senate) to do pretty much anything. They've had that for [drumroll please] 4 out of the last 24 years. Or 6 of the last 32 years. Or 6 of the last 44 fucking years.

    Thats not how politics works buddy. If what you said were true neither the dems or republicans would have passed any bills in the history of the "republic". Clearly theres also horse trading, and bribery/lobbying you are pretending dont exist in order to make this weak point.

    It was significantly shorter than that when you consider Senate control to be 60, which is what's needed to bypass the fillibuster.

    Supermajority was 4 months, out of the last 44 years. But whenever I mention that people think I'm fixated on that for some reason.

    *Oh downvoted already. Some people really don't like hearing this.
