So determined to take away people's healthcare, that they're willing to kill their own future veto card? Wow. I knew they were all about fucking over poor people, but that's dedication.

Optimistic of you to assume we'll have free elections with an un-gerrymandered map.

I mean, the Senate is all statewide elections so those races can't really be gerrymandered more than the way state borders already are.
Maybe we could merge the Dakotas, Carolinas, and Virginias though.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if the minority party got rid of their ability to block the majority, purely out of bloodlust to see working class people die of preventable illnesses?
