13425326, obama passed whatever he passed only because of a virtual supermajority Posted by Reeq, Fri Feb-26-21 10:53 AM
in the senate for his 1st 2 years. they could override a repub filibuster on *some* things (obviously not on stuff like public option).
then after only 2 years in office...that senate supermajority was gone and dems lost complete control of the house after a massive defeat in 2010. effectively killing the obama legislative agenda for the rest of his time in office.
where exactly do folks think any congressional action on reparations was gonna come from? who was gonna bring it to the floor? the freedom caucus? lol.
