LOL. Isn't the Fillibuster a weird technicality that wasn't even discovered until the 19th century? Like why would you design a legislative body where anyone can block anything by speaking a bunch of nonsense for a long time?

Joe Manchin's stances on a lot of things sucks, but if it wasn't him, it would 100% be a Republican in that seat instead

That would be better than the Democrats propping up and enabling...this.
Joe Manchin is literally an obstacle to his supposed party wielding political power in ways that would help his constituents.
We have to stop tolerating this behavior just because he has a D next to his name.

Sounds like a worse version of 2008-2010 coming up then. Well we need to at least secure enough power to make sure he's the most hated man in the country if he doesn't fix his views.

So do you think this is some ploy to comfort independent voters in georgia to vote for ossoff and warnock??

I don't really find that credible, it would be good to figure out ways to talk about it that make the republican party and their policies seem, you know, worse

I listened to him on cnn this morning and what he's actually saying is that he thinks they might tweak the TCJA

That's his pitch for why Democrats should keep the Senate (it's seriously not clear to me that is what he is actually arguing for fwiw)

Oh no my point was that this is irrelevant unless Dems get 50/50 anyway

Like this dude sees the election results and all he can think about is 2024 and that he only won with less than 50% of the vote and a 20k vote margin in 2018

Fuck this man I hate politics

more than all of us considering you work (ed?) in politics, right?

i fully agree, and i have little doubt he will lose his next re-election bid anyway

had this with ben nelson too, it is absolutely disgusting

dems should really ask mcconnell what he does to make people like collins jump when he says jump

it is goddamn appalling to see him lining up to announce things like this right as biden declares victory though

like, it's mostly meaningless? dems probably don't retake the senate anyway? but in the best case it seems like an attempt to piss on biden's parade

i wonder if this sort of "let's make sure we lose before we have a chance to win" thinking is a consequence of the way the senate, originally designed to counterbalance large states' dominance of the house, has instead createda complete dominance of small states
