The rotating villain thing gets way too much credit. When the Republicans have control, it's something like 56/44. When the Dems have "control", it requires the vice president to break the tie.
Manchin is the best thing you're going to get out of fucking West Virginia any time soon. It's time to stop counting on him as the 50th vote.
Sinema is different, and should absolutely go fuck herself. But she's just a regular, actual villain, not some rotating conspiracy.
Meeting a democrat in West Virginia is like finding a dodo bird in the wild.
Well, more accurately, it’s like finding a truffle.
I mean, they’re there. They defiantly don’t take their politics out to town with them though. In some places it can even be dangerous. No way I’d put a sticker on my car that’s for sure.
Had a dude put a Trump sticker on my bumper once though. I was surprised when I kept suddenly getting “hell yeah buddy” everywhere I went haha. Peeled that off real quick.
Why do you think the Democrats and Republicans keep the Senate 60% supermajority filibuster rule in place, when usually neither party has a supermajority of seats? It’s because both parties intentionally hamstring themselves. It’s Long Past Time to Abolish the Filibuster
