$1,900,000,000,000 leftist wet dream bill rammed through reconciliation basically without a single Republican vote and an inability to filibuster is a litttttttttle different than a normal bill.

Do you not know what reconciliation is?

And also a cultural mob is basically the most powerful tool you can deploy in a culture war, which is why the left has the Cancel Culture Twitter mob.

We just need to cancel better.

I’m not the guy you replied to, but I don’t know what a reconciliation bill is. Can you explain?

Reconciliation is a procedure that expedites the passage of certain budgetary legislation in the Senate. The Senate filibuster effectively requires a 60-vote super-majority for the passage of most legislation in the Senate, but reconciliation provides a process to prevent the use of the filibuster and thereby allow the passage of a bill with simple majority support in the Senate.

Reconciliation bills can be passed on spending, revenue, and the federal debt limit, and the Senate can pass one bill per year affecting each subject.
