    And now you’ve pivoted from 2020-2022, which is the useless neoliberal majority we were talking about, to 2008-2010, which is the useless neoliberal supermajority that kept the filibuster around just to make sure that the public option died.

      After 2011 actually, specifically the most productive and progressive US congress in modern history when Dems had 58 for 72 days in the 111th congress.

      When we came up 1 independent vote short of socialized healthcare.

      2013 was over a decade ago. Even 2014 was over a decade ago.
