6 weeks? They held the trifecta for 2 years! From 01/09 to 01/11.
If you give the Dems a supermajority even more Senators will have "health problems" for way longer
Look, I know my instance gives it away, but from Marxist to self proclaimed angry commie: You are dead wrong comrade.
Dems under Obama didn't not do anything bc of "enough Senators with health problems" but because they are beholden to their bourgeoise donors. In essence they are a party representing the bourgeoisie who only occasionally throw you a bone when they are pressured to do so
And you pressure them not by voting harder for them but by doing political work outside of both parties.
The harder you vote blue, the less they'll do for you!
A bit oversimplified but I like the ring of it so I'll run with it.
