For those who don’t know, here’s what budget reconciliation is: basically, you can’t filibuster bills in the Senate related to the budget. So if you decide that a piece of legislation is relevant to the budget, it only needs 50 votes to pass. Republicans used this technique several times when they were last in control of the Senate, so as you can imagine, that Democrats are now planning on using means they of course think it’s an affront to democracy. Because you fucking elect children to run the country.
In even shorter terms, here’s what’s happening in Congress now: Republicans are refusing to work with Democrats to do anything. Democrats have a method to do things without needing Republicans to work with them on it. Republicans are now mad that Democrats aren’t working with them after they refused to work with them. Because, as I believe I just noted, you fucking elect children to run the country.
