    To the absolute shock of all the people praising Luigi as the ultimate solution: nothing has changed.

      Because work needs to be systemic. Not one-time adventure, but every tuesday in the morning.

        You can kill an infinite number of people across all of time, but it’s not going to change the fact that profit exists to be made. The only solution is legislative. We have to vote DNC, like we did in 2010, but instead of stopping at 58 we need to get to 60. Only then will there be progressive reform with no compromise.

          you’ve had 60. it doesn’t matter. what you need is to vote local and in primaries. you can’t keep letting the party establishment rot take hold and hope it will lead to change in the general elections.

                  yeah really, idk whay that is but a table only gives you a snapshot. 111th congress I believe had at one time majorities in both houses, and a 60-40, including the democratic caucusing independents.

                    But when the 111th congress voted on Public Option Healthcare it came up 1 vote short because the Caucusing Independent Joe Liebermen voted Nay alongside every republican.

                    They effectively didn’t have 60, despite the caucus.
