I'm pretty sure in order to pass constitutional amendments the House needs to pass any constitutional measure with a 2/3rds "super majority".

Wouldn’t matter if they had a supermajority. They collaborate with the marxists.

I'm not sure they will get ANY majority in the House. That seems like it's always the uniparty game plan but dems aren't selling anything more appealing than Republicans.

The identity of their party is a purple-haired weirdo trooning her kids and screeching at ICE cops. Few people want to be that person.

Yeah, nobody’s doing that in this climate regardless.

A supermajority by either would only mean one side might spend like a slightly less drunken sailor than the other.

The supermajority or the 80 seats? I tried to figure out if it was serious so I just responded with a quip.

The point is around 60-80 current republicans vote with Dems so the Dems might as well have a super majority

For the foreseeable future both sides are going to have to rely on thin majorities especially in the House irrespective of redistricting initiatives. At best you have a 52/48 percentage split for any party. A true consensus pushing past 55% is probably 20 years off for any party.
