We could fix everything

It’d be easy actually, we have most of the political power

When was the last time they actually had a filibuster proof majority? Oh yeah, that was in Obama’s first term nearly 20 years ago.
I love how Democrats need a “filibuster proof majority” before they even pretend that they are doing something for the working class. But with a slight majority, they immediately bow down to help the Republicans.
And how did they use it?
Passed obama care, and they were only 2 or 3 votes away from universal Healthcare
Ahh yes the republican crafted Healthcare plan formerly known as Romneycare. So glad they fixed Healthcare in america! What a crowning achievement. /s
