The Democrats are NOT the majority in either houses of Congress.
All they have IS the filibuster; cloture cuts off debate and thus the filibuster. They didn't nor have they voted "yes" on the Continuing Resolution, in fact it went according to party lines 54-46 (The Republicans are the majority in the Senate 53-47).
Now, as much as Senator Schumer should be criticized for NOT using the filibuster. How many of you here, were all gung ho about eliminating the filibuster not too long ago?
Are you now saying the former Senators Sinema and Manchin were *gasp* right? I'm no Sinema fan, but let's be for real, nobody is coming out of this painted with glory.

A lot of you need to save your ire for the actual people in charge; the Republican Party.
