Don’t pretend like you don’t remember the Democrats wringing their hands every time they had majorities, and saying they couldn’t do anything or had to heavily compromise because of this or that single person.
The last one was Joe Machin. “Oh! Guys. So sorry. We would totally help the people, but we can’t do anything because of jOe mAnChIn!” They always have a scapegoat.

My favorite was the parliamentarian. The one who is an advisor and can be overruled at any time. What can democracy do, the parliamentarian has rendered government powerless to act. *shrug
