every time someone brings up how obama actually only had a supermajority for a couple of months i ask "and what did we do with that thin window of time" and the answer is "wasted it begging republicans to be nice and offering them whatever they wanted for votes we didn't get"

like obama's own most recent book has him simultaneously going "don't you lefties know how politics work" and admitting "yeah i spent months and months trying to get grassley and snowe on board and offering them whatever and still didn't get their support"

snowe truly remains a big stickler for me here, not just because she's from my homestate, but because she was perhaps the last 'moderate' republican that did a decent job of acting like she actually was moderate and she *still* didn't give obama the ACA vote he wanted

It feels like Democrats are now deeply concerned with trying to avoid being painted as using the Covid-Relief bill to pass non-directly-associated-with-covid legislation.
