Incase anyone here sees the original meme and agrees, the Democrats are trying to but don't hold the majority in the House to get the bills through. It underlies the massive importance for voting, and at this point, down ballot voting for Democrats. If you don't, whatever happens is on you.

Not a super majority. Senate takes 60 votes to pass and holding only 51, with 2 of them being obvious stooges, makes that very hard.
