The Democrats so rarely have full control of the executive and legislative branches, and when they do it is by such slim margins that the most right-leaning Democrat has the whole thing by the balls.
Looks at Obama’s Presidency: Democrats had a single vote margin in the House for only 41 days. That single vote was an Independent (Joe Lieberman). We would have had single payer health care if not for him. What we got disappointing but it was a lot better than nothing. Outside of those 41 days everything had to be a compromise with the Republicans.
I think we need to stop the “both sides are the same” stuff until we’ve actually given the Democrats a big margin in both houses for an extended period so that we give the left leaning members an opportunity to get some things moving.

The rule for needing 60 votes is set by a vote of 50.

Are you thinking on the scale of hundreds of years? To get back to FDR…?
Problem is that waiting, hoping and praying for a Democrat super majority is the exact fallacy they want you to believe. “Put down those pitchforks and torches, you just gotta wait until the good guys win the presidential election, the house, the Senate, the DOJ, AND they aren’t a conservative in disguise that vetos or votes against whatever the Democrats are currently working towards”

American politics is kayfabe. If it hadn’t been Lieberman, it would’ve just been someone else.
