and perhaps with the democratic president? look. it s important to understand that all it takes is a majority. the problem as we sit here is not one senator. the problem is 52 senators who believe that pharmaceutical costs are too low apparently, that there isn t enough wealth inequality in the world, that the climate isn t heating up. that s a problem. i ll take any senator who s actually willing to stand up and do that. now, to be fair, if we get everything done, we still have a very transformative bill. we re doing fantastic things in here to lower you know, to provide seniors with access to dental and vision care, to expand access to child care. there s still some really good things in there, but the question is in this moment, are we going to do what scientifically is necessary or are we going to fall back on what s plilticily possible? the planet doesn t really care about the politics of a few senators, and we just have to keep that in mind as we push forward. all right.
