Yesterday Trending Politics<\/a> posted an article about a recent Tweet by Senator Bernie Sanders.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

Sanders tweeted: \u201c2 senators cannot be allowed to defeat what 48 senators and 210 House members want. We must stand with the working families of our country. We must combat climate change. We must delay passing the Infrastructure Bill until we pass a strong Reconciliation Bill.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

But that’s the way our system is set up. The Senate is supposed to be the deliberative body and the House of Representatives is supposed to be more easily swayed by the trends of the moment. The Senate is there to protect America from any rash action taken by the House of Representatives. That system was somewhat diluted by the Seventeen Amendment, but traces of it remain in place.<\/p>\n

The article notes a few Tweets in response to Senator Sanders’ Tweet:<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a pretty hilarious way of trying to say \u201c48 senators should win a vote over 52 senators when it\u2019s a bill I like.\u201d That\u2019s some pretty creative math,\u201d said one Twitter user.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s 52 senators defeating what 48 senators want,\u201d said Nick Pappas. \u201cYou need Manchin & Sinema because all 50 senators on the GOP side reject your proposal outright. Get a majority in the chamber if your plan is so popular.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c48 senators and 210 House members are, last I checked, a minority of both chambers,\u201d said Dan McLaughlin.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cIn other words, 52 senators are defeating what 48 senators want and 225 House members are defeating what 210 want,\u201d tweeted Greg Price.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI know math isn\u2019t a big thing with socialists, but it\u2019s at least 52 Senators rejecting your radical agenda. And 52 is a bigger number than 48.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cBernie\u2019s policies are based on the idea that 25 states do not matter,\u201d said Tim Pool.<\/strong><\/p>\n
