    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.

      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.
