They have no path to win midterms, and they will run first. Funny thing is that they literally have nowhere to run. 🤣

    Why would you think it takes 60 senators to starve him? You need 50% of the house plus 1 or 51 senators

      It takes 60 to pass a budget resolution.

      It takes 41 to keep a budget from passing (government shutdown).

        Anyone who can’t get 7 democrats to agree with a budget obviously is fucking up badly. Maybe by giving huge tax breaks to scummy billionaires and taking away affordable medical care

          TBF the last time 7 dems agreed to continue we got John Oliver to spend an entire episode roasting Chuck Schumer about his imaginary friends.

          I hope I never do anything so horrible to warrant that treatment, I might never recover.
