You’re right…technically. So according to that article, the filibuster-proof supermajority didn’t last long. 72 working days. While that might have technically been long enough to pass single-payer universal healthcare and get rid of the filibuster, it’s unrealistic to expect major legislation like that to happen in 72 days. I don’t think it’s fair to criticize the Democrats for not taking advantage of a supermajority when it lasted less than 100 working days.
