only in the sense that it couldn't be better for two years and 52/48 was infinitely worse.

They'd rather play nice, meet in the middle, have the GOP still vote against the negotiated bill, accomplish nothing, and get killed in the midterms.

No they weren't; they had 60 votes to pass that.

Weird who would have thought the guy who has voted against any change to the filibuster, and who has written an opinion piece about how he will never vote in favor of a filibuster change says he will do exactly what hes been saying for literally years.

its still a hell of a lot better than Republicans having a majority. Bitch McConnell refused to bring hundreds of bills to a vote, even ones that likely would have had bipartisan support.

Schumer will at least bring stuff to the floor and if it gets shot down due to Republicans being shitheads, those votes get recorded and can be used against them.

The reality is that nothing will change until we reject the undemocratic Federal government and adapt a new constitution.

Just bring back the version where you actually have to go up there and speak forever. It allows for actually important things to still happen since the person doing it will eventually stop, but also allows for an attempt to stop stuff. The current version of it is too strong.

Given that the Republicans are on a beeline to fascism, the bloodshed is already inevitable. You should prepare yourself, buy a gun and learn how to use it

What are you guys going to do about posts #25, 27, and 28? There's two users in this topic encouraging "bloodshed" and replacing the Constitution with a new Constitution and disbanding the Federal government. This is what you guys want on CE? Time to step up for a change.

The Union is strong and we are emerging from COVID with a vibrant future and economy that will service growth for the entire nation for decades. Infrastructure investments and stimulus will create more jobs than can be filled.
