With such slim majorities in both houses and a Republican party that is dishonest, murderous and racist, the Democrats should take a scorched-earth approach to the country's agenda. Overriding the parliamentarian is something the Republicans would have done in a heartbeat.

The Republicans need to be made the minority in this country, that they truly are. Destroy the gerrymandering. Let democracy rule, I'm not on board with full blown democrat...but fk Republicans.

Pres Biden, get tough with the GOP. They are cheating their way to minority control of the gov. Override the Republican Parliamentarian. Nuke the Filibuster. Pass the COVID Bill. Pass the Voting Rights Bill. Make voter suppression a Federal Crime - Jail violators. Do it NOW!

Harris is allowed to overrule the parliamentarian. She and Biden made a signature campaign promise for the 15$ wage. Why is this even a question? What would Trump/McConnell have done? This is further proof that Democrats love to lose. Biden & Harris are cowards.

Congrats! Loved the show. Regarding redistricting... why isn't the census being redone? We know groups of people were afraid to respond to it. And just the sheer incompetence of the former administration... we're just going to live with their data for the next 10 years? 😟
