    I wouldn’t actually have a problem with them sidestepping the parliamentarian, but acting like it’s the lynch pin to regularly getting good legislation passed is silly.

        It’s dysfunctional because a near majority of Congress is specifically there to make the entire thing dysfunctional. Using loopholes does absolutely nothing to fix that core issue. Getting rid of Conservatives does.

          completely agree. do I 100% love the dems. no. do I 100% need to see republicans as a party go. yup. we are not going to be able to pull any more left till we eliminate right dysfunction. protest voting is just gonna send us more right. although not even right just crazy.
