    They won enough seats and found just enough no votes to kill BBB and the minimum wage increase, and keep the filibuster intact so they couldn’t protect Roe or voting rights.

      I wish they had done more too but they barely had 50/50 in the Senate and Sinema doesn’t count let’s be honest. So if we go back to this meme, Democrats keep winning, still just isn’t the case or if you think it is true, see my comment about don’t win enough. Enough being the key word.

      Luckily they were able to pass lots of good legislation during that time of the thinnest of majorities.
