Democrat Fail

So the democrats lost the super majority they never used to a male model, via a seat that has been solidly blue since I was born. You have the president coming out and telling everyone this seat means everything to him and the democrats and now that they’ve lost it the first thing everyone mentions is what the democrats are going to have to sacrifice if they’re going to fix anything.
The 59 seat democrat “majority” should pass health care, without any republican support, cause that’s exactly what they want, and democrats can do nothing to change that. It was noble to try for this 60 vote lovefest but it’s obviously failed, and unless they start giving reasons for people to turn out in the polls the democrats are going to keep bleeding seats. Passing health care reform with 51 votes is not “nuclear“, it’s fucking sane, it’s called democracy. They’ll have to do the same with just about every other bill, because they’ll vote for this “free market” illusion of deregulating everything further, they’ll vote against any acceptance of scientific fact and they’ll vote against reform that isn’t watered down with tax cuts to the point of being useless unless you make millions.
Coakley didn’t seem very strong, and the main reason for running her was that she was the AG or something. It’s going to be a sad, sad state of the union address.
P.S. haha I totally forgot, now that the democrats don’t have 60 votes Lieberman can’t cling to anything. He’s now completely useless unless he can convince 1 republican to switch sides, which will probably not happen this congress. Lieberman isn’t a 60th vote anymore, and we shouldn’t have to work with him anymore like his voice really has that much weight.
