      The senate is 53 Republican to 45 Democrat and 2 Independent. Requires 60 to Remove.

      The articles also have to pass the house which is 219R to 215D.

      This is what EVERYBODY doesn’t understand: The DNC is NEVER going to select Bernie because he is NOT a Democrat. He is, and always has been, an Independant.

      The presidential nomination is the highest award a party can give to a member, and they are going to give it to a loyal member who has supported the party, raised money for them, praised their actions, etc. Bernie has done none of that. He may caucus with the Dems, but he doesn’t raise money for them, and he has often been very critical of Democrats.

      He’s NOT a Democrat, and there was never a time when the Democrats would give him the nomination, no matter how many votes he got in the primary. They wouldn’t give him the nomination any more that they’d give it to a Republican.

        Idk, he came close in 2016, we could probably get AOC if a lot more than 30 Million people participated in the primary.

      Lol whut? Bernie Sanders lost the 2020 DNC primary by 10 Million Votes, it was 19,080,074 Biden to 9,680,121 Bernie. Even if you add in Warren’s 2,831,566 votes it wouldn’t even bring Bernie close.

        Arguing that the results of ratfuckery mean there was no ratfuckery is an interesting choice.

        Also, there was only one active campaigning candidate when most of the country was even able to vote. Using the total of the entire election is idiotic when Biden was the only one running after the manufactured dropout scheme occurred

          Listen if Bernies votes werent counted at all or if it were a really close race you might have a point but if 10 out of 35 million less people voted for your ass than the winner then you lost fair and square. Those votes are human beings who showed up and filled out a ballot.

          Are you accusing Bernie Sanders of dropping out too early on purpose? He ran until April at which point the results were 62.9% to 31.7%.

            So as long as they only cheated really really bad, and not shut him out altogether, it doesn’t count?

            The way the primaries are run are bullshit. That’s not debatable. The same or so 12 states choose the candidate every time before most of the country can even voice their opinion. For the “Democratic” party. And then they wonder why no one is invested in a candidate they had no voice in deciding.

            Biden wasn’t even on the board in the first several states. Then they pulled their stunt with everyone dropping out at once to manufacture consent while keeping Warren in to split the progressive vote and somehow that means the guy who couldn’t break top 3 is the clear choice? Utter bullshit. That got us the guy who couldn’t be damned to even pretend to stand up against genocide, handing the election back to the worst candidate in history

              I’m sorry that you thinking getting the most votes by more than double makes you a cheater.

              I’m sorry that you think democracy is cheating.

              The elections could be run better, no doubt, but it wouldn’t have changed the outcome in the 2020 primaries.

          Can’t be filibustered, and as was the case with Pete Hegseth even if every Dem said NO and even 3 Republicans said NO they still had enough votes to appoint them.

          It was kind of a “choosing the devil you know” situation.

                Optics matter, regardless of how much it helps. Why do you think Elizabeth Warren is doing this stunt? How much difference do you think it made? When Dems vote with Republicans after all the heinous shit they’ve shown this year, they are failing to stand for their principles. OTOH, if Warren didn’t do this stunt, no one would actually complain or criticise her.

                  So you think all Democrats are compromised and that Warren should be criticized for speaking out against Trump?

                  You don’t exactly have the optics of the resistance yourself, my dude.

    Oh no, the convict lied.

    This is the dangerous part about being someone like trump. Everyone expects him to lie and fuck things up, so when he does, nobody is outraged and there are no consequences.

    Also people are afraid of him. A classic bully. I was watching how he said on tv how he is a nice guy. Its amazing.

      Oh, there will be consequences, count on it. Fascist regimes always collapse under the weight of their own virtuosic incompetence, because they are based on philosophy, usually seriously flawed philosophy, and not competence.

      And when they collapse, the leader and his henchmen usually die very unpleasant, very violent, very deserved deaths.

      For the people screaming for the Dems to do something: this is it. This is the extent of their power with the number of votes they have. If anything, we should be urging Republican lawmakers to abandon ship.

        How about getting a filing of an impeachment notion going? No doubt it’d fail, but it goes on record and everyone who voted against it gets listed. Keep it going and you see the pattern by the time the midterms come around?

        Get the impeachment going. Even if it fails (it will), the members who vote against it will be noted in time for the time of the midterms. Do it a few times and you can establish a pattern.

          He filibustered.

          Cabinet Appointments cannot be filibustered under current senate rules. Same for SCOTUS judges.

          He did filibuster Public Option into the grave, though.

              Sure that’s a swell plan, sport.

              You only need a simple majority to change senate rules, so you need to convince 4 Republican Senators and 2 Independents, and I think there are maybe 1 or 2 Democrats who might need some arm twisting.

          Mitch McConnell had the benefit of dealing with weak, spineless Dem weenies who would roll over for him, even though they had majorities.
