    these people still trying to pass fake bills?

    Telling voters what to expect, if voters give Democrats power, is not “fake bills”. What do you want, for Democrats to not tell voters what they would pass, if given power?

      Telling voters what to expect, if voters give Democrats power

      After decades of lies, you’ll have to excuse the skepticism of people who have been paying attention.

        They will be talking about this bill being shut down by Republicans for the next 20 years. They will talk about how improper it would be to reintroduce the bill after it was voted down. If they are ever in power they will point to this failed bill whenever the min wage comes up. They know that it will never pass, that’s why it’s being done now.

        Democrats have not had a filibuster-proof majority for almost 20 years.

        Sometimes I think Americans don’t know how democracy works. You can’t blame a party for not passing stuff, if you don’t give that party the power to pass stuff.

          Stop using the filibuster as an excuse for democrats blocking what you want blocked. They could have ended the filibuster for good with a simple majority any time they had one.

          Sometimes I think Americans don’t know how democracy works.

          Sometimes I wish the genocide wing could come up with a new way to gaslight people who say things they don’t want to hear.

          As not an american I am almost certain you don’t know how a real democracy works. A two party system is not democratic and majority are not healthy long term, if you want proof look at the us and the uk more recently. Coalitions are common and more democratic the world over.
