Why not blame the failure to drive the message to "get out the vote" over broken promises on the candidates though?

I don't remember Biden promising packing the court.

You need 60 votes for this, you couldn't get Barnes elected on the court packing platform and you expecting this thing to pass?

You are quick to mention how Biden was elected because of the swing state votes and now you are pretending that total popular votes matter.

Pick a lane.

We did elect Senators like Merkley,Warren,Smith,Bernie etc who support adding judges.Progs will continue to vote for candidates that support expanding the court,and not vote for those who dont.

Ya, you got them elected in deep blue states, such a tough accomplishment.

Why did Barnes lose if progs are so sure that this issue is a winner for elections?
