Democrats are seeking to manipulate the rules of Congress to further their agenda.
In an interview on Sunday, Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.), who caucuses with Democrats, said the party may be using ‘
reconciliation‘ to pass major legislation.

Reconciliation would allow for a bill to pass with 51 votes as opposed to 60 votes. Sanders indicated that Democrats may use the tactic to pass a massive COVID-19 relief package.
In contrast, Sanders denounced Republican efforts to use reconciliation in the past.
“I criticized Republicans — yeah — for using reconciliation to give tax breaks to billionaires, to create a situation where large profitable corporations now pay zero in federal income taxes,” Sanders said. “Yes, I did criticize them for that and if they want to criticize me for helping to feed children who are hungry or citizens in this country who are isolated and alone and don’t have enough food, they can criticize me.”
Sanders added he and Democrats are working to pass the relief legislation quickly and they cannot wait to do so in the traditional fashion.
Bernie spent his honeymoon in the USSA drinking vodka with his /Comrades", and made millions ( owns three hoes - er - homes) from selling books on 'socialism" to foolish Americans.
he will do anything to institute authoritarian totalitarian marxism in America.
Hypocrisy is bernie's middle name!
All the DPST/ccp folks who do love their Bernie - are foolish - and are welcome to take bernie, his ideology - and move to Venezuela permanently.
