I didn't vote for Republicans.
I'm not being told that voting for more Republicans will totally get a minimum wage increase passed.
We gave Democrats a majority. They found enough no votes. It's what they do. In order to overcome the votes of those eight plus all Republicans we would need 59 Democrats in the Senate. And may as well make that an even 60 because Democrats won't ever get rid of the filibuster.
Of course both sides aren't the same; that's just something centrists say when people criticize Democrats in any way at all, because it's easier than defending the party's deliberate uselessness.
