Yeah you got me hardly.
Ignore the signs at your peril. Voters are burnt out. Dems need to deliver. If the answer to this ruling is just more of the same, it’s going to be very hard to turn out young voters who don’t see the party doing anything. Everyone on the hill looks the same to them. It’s a problem. |
What are d's supposed to do that they aren't doing? |
End the filibuster. Pressure the crap out of Manchin and Sinema, publicly, to do it. There is no reason to preserve the filibuster when the minority party consistently votes in total opposition to everything. Bipartisanship is dead and gone. |
Magic, basically. |
Eliminate the filibuster! It can be done. The party is in power. And yet just crickets. At least pretend the party gives a f. |
| First of all, the SC has not yet actually released an opinion in Dobbs. Even though it seems certain how they will rule, I don’t see how Dems can take action regarding the ruling until there is one. Secondly, I think some of the above expectations are unrealistic and talking down Dems is not at all helpful. |
Deliver WHAT? Do you know how our federal government functions? Biden is not a genie. He can't just wiggle his nose, nod his head, and change the law or force republicans to cooperate. You are blaming him and dems for something that they cannot control - that ghoul Mitch McConnel and the women hating, gun-loving, GOP. JFC. If you're going to say dumb sh-- like that, at least pretend you have basic understanding of civics. |
How EXACTLY can it be done if the GOP won't go for it? And they won't. |
Oh, magic. |
The filibuster can be eliminated with 51 votes. The GOP is not needed to eliminate the filibuster. We have the Dems in the Senate. |
No, we don't. We have 49 Dems and 2 DINOs. |
If they all look the same, then that is an indictment of our education system and the media. But sure, let's vote the fascists into power and lose our republic. |
The magic words on all 48 lips should be “end the filibuster”. If all 48 called for it, at least it would look like they were trying. They don’t want to do it. So they say nothing. Don’t just blame Manchin and Sinema. |
Have lots of votes. Make Republicans vote against birth control. Make Republicans vote against treatment for ectopic pregnancies. Make them go on the record over and over again with their hatred of women. |
