Like that's a self dunk. Why did Democrats vote with Republicans? Why weren't they instantly executed? Why were such opportunists allowed in the party?

Democrats are a bottomless well of excuses. "We had a majority, but we re-created the two-party gridlock between ourselves!"
Other classics:
"We have a majority to extend the eviction moratorium, but not enough people showed up to votes!" (for liberals who don't understand why this is a bad excuse, "we could have done it but we just fucked off from work that day" is an excuse that gets you fired in any other profession. And it's not like the expiration of the eviction moratorium was a surprise or something, calendars exist and the date was known)
"We have a majority to pass Biden's agenda, but the parliamentarian won't let us!" (this is a bad excuse because the parliamentarian can be unilaterally fired and hired at the whim of the senate majority leader, who was a democrat. And you can't say "well it would be wrong to set that precedent", because the republicans already did that shit under Bush)
The only correct answer is "like shit. It works like shit."
