    And they still wouldn’t, because they don’t want to. Not with the neoliberals in charge of the party.

    So - serious question - would you want to? Cheat.

      Oh, sorry if it was unclear: that wasn’t referencing the “cheat” part; that was referencing the “get big things done” part.

      Even with a Democrat supermajority, there would still be zero chance of meaningful reforms like ending Citizens’ United, instituting single-payer healthcare, Wall Street reform, increasing taxes on the rich, making college affordable, etc. as long as people like Pelosi and Schumer were still in charge. Neoliberals don’t want those big things to get done.
