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

    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.
