Schumer is going to walk his party off the cliff

He is bringing it to a vote knowing it will fail in a dumb effort to shame the GOP… the GOP has no shame so it will fail.

Nothing is going to happen to the filibuster.

They should force it to be a talking filibuster.

if you’re going to filibuster you should be required to actually filibuster.

You really think 50 Senators can’t rotate endlessly to the Senate floor to speak for an hour or 2 each. They won’t vote for cloture and it’s moderate Dems, not any Reps that aren’t motivated to do this.

No…you can’t rotate. You pick one and they do it.

No rotations.

Schumer is trying desperately to hold on to his power and influence, AOC could primary his old arse. The Dimbulbcrats want the federal goobermint controlling elections. Thankfully enough Americans are quite familiar with communism and the dangers of single party rule.

[e7alr]

Not the rules right now. Any change would most likely allow for rotating continuous debate. Neither side want’s to give away the ability to block legislation as a general matter.

[JayJay]

I understand that.

But they should do it.

Because it would get these people back to doing what they are supposed to be doing…reaching a consensus, not engaging in continuous warfare.

The GOP’s current ideology will not allow for consensus.

Any movement away from the purity of the position is a loss.

[JayJay]

It’s the only way they keep in power.

Because they know the demographics are against them, but also that their opponents are fractured.

So if they stay pure they still win.

There is no “pure” Democrat position.

That is why they can’t get anything passed.

[Hexenbiest]

This is the beginning of the end of the so-called moderate wing of the democrats. And they want it on record.

I suspect the more activist side will be taking names and sharpening their political knives.

You mean some of them are closer to the Republican position than to the Progressive position.

Sure there is. Take any rational position, twist it into an extreme position and back it with earpeircing screeches of “racist” whenever someone opposes it.

The corporate third way democrats are the bulk of the party.

Progressives are a loud but neutered wing… especially after they got all the blame for losing Virginia

I am sure that you believe that to be true.

So how long before they take their ball and go to another sand lot?
