    Without a House in the control of the same party, the Senate majority is just helpful for getting judges etc confirmed. It’s not like they could be getting us universal Healthcare if only they believed in themselves more.

      You should read articles before commenting. It’s not about passing laws and the Senate can do more than confirm judges. The Senate could be running investigations into the corruption of the Supreme Court or various other misdeeds in order to show the public they’re both going on and that Republicans are complicit.

    I think the Senate sometimes, oftentimes, fears anything that could be seen as partisan.

    I’ll never understand this. There is a clear divide in parties. There is no working across the isle anymore. You can’t negotiate with someone who denies reality.

      Biden has said he’s learned that about every six months, it’s just a shame he keeps forgetting.

      It’s gotta be confusing for a “moderate” that’s still in power even tho their entire political philosophy fell apart almost 20 years ago. Even if you weren’t in your 80s
