    What times are these?

    As I said, they have only had control for 4 months in my lifetime. Before that you need to go back to 1961-1969 with Kennedy and Johnson. I would actually need to do more research to find out whether they had a Supermajority or not, but it’s not even worth looking up because going that far back in time shifts the politics of the parties significantly and is not very relevant to today. The Democratic Party still has plenty of Southern Conservatives all the way into the Carter years.

    So I would love to know what pattern you are seeing.

      I think they’re including technical majorities that failed to effect meaningful change because of DINO shitbags like Manchin and Sinema.
