I have problems with people who abstained. The hard thing is, how do you change voter behavior?

    Fixed lmao does it fucking matter? They couldn’t make constitutional amendments OH NO! None of what they needed to do needed a constitutional amendment.

          I dont understand your line of reasoning… you are complaining that they did nothing with their majorities and claim the only thing they would need a supermajority for is a constitutional ammenmendt and could get everything else done. When i point out the filibuster (which in case it was not clear, means you still need a supermajority for cloture and proceed to voting in the senate), you complain that they didnt put on a show? Do you thini they shouldve spent alot of effort trying to pass legislation that would never be passed anyway for show? Or am i not understanding you?

          edit: ok i was not aware of the meaning of bully pulpit. You mean they shouldve used the opportinity to advocate for better policies even though they wouldnt get the policies through?
