    But they don’t. They don’t give the democrats a majority if they keep voting with republicans.

    And we saw how Obama sat on his hands for two years while Dems had a supermajority. Then when republicans had control of congress, gee golly gosh, the mean republicans won’t let us have single payer. Now take this health care plan written by The Heritage Institute and like it.

    And NAFTA. And the Biden crime bill. And the Clinton welfare reform.

    They’re just republicans with blue ties and pride flag pins.

      It doesn’t matter how they vote, being in the Dem Caucus gives Dems the majority. It may not allow the Dems to win new policy, but it stops the GoP from making things worse.
