If we lose the 2024 election, we should just storm the capitol. All we'll get is a slap on the wrist. And if we succeed... well I don't know what we'd do. Maybe just kick out all the Republicans.

Yes

How do we feel about Biden's push for filibuster reform after almost an entire year in office?

Yeah that's where I'm at.

If this was the play (and it should have always been the play), I have no idea why it didn't happen sooner. Did the American public really need to be warmed to the idea by watching Dems flounder for a year? Everyone already knows they suck!

Think it was more about accumulating hard evidence of obstruction and bad faith actions to present to Manchin and Sinema by going, "See? We gave you your shots at trying to craft 'bipartisan' legislation on these issues and you got nothing."

problem is they don't care and are among the bad faith actors so nothing will happen

Strikes me more as a desperation play because they have no more cards. Like, don't get me wrong, it's the right policy decision from a small-d democratic and good governance stance but it isn't going to go anywhere and once it goes down that officially slams the door on anything of value getting done but that's where we are.

Schumer dug deep in the rulebook and found a way to at least bypass the filibuster on starting debate for voting rights.

https://twitter.com/DemocracyDocket/status/1481381032461058049

Okay, I didn't know he had this card. I guess Biden's push makes more sense to me now because there will be a showdown now. While this maneuver lets Schumer start debate (GOP has previously filibustered all previous attempts to start debate on voting rights) the GOP can still attempt to filibuster ending debate - but that would be the key moment. If they were going to make a carve out that would be the moment.

I expect it to not work but at least they'll get a moment to really make this public.

Well, Ive taken it, said Trump. Ive had the booster. Many politiciansI watched a couple of politicians be interviewed and one of the questions was, Did you get the booster? because they had the vaccine and theyre answering likein other words, the answer is yes but they dont want to say it. Because theyre gutless. You gotta say it whether you had it or not. Say it. But the fact is that I think the vaccines saved tens of millions throughout the world. Ive had absolutely no side-effects.

Fuck, this is super good actually. Like this is some of the best messaging coming out of the right on the vaccine I've seen.

The annoying thing about Trump is that he's not saying it because it's true, or good, because he doesn't care about those things - but it's a truth that is very convenient to him, and it takes less gymnastics for him to yell a truth than yell a lie, so it actually comes out semi-coherent. He's making a good point!

I definitely think it's good thing that he is calling people out. He has basically been announcing that all the Republican politicians and conservative pundits are vaccinated and hiding it.

Hopefully his followers will listen and keep pressuring those people to admit it.

Lmao good point.

Like, okay. Let me put on my maximum cynic hat. There's a whole narrative about Never Trumpers and other conservative moderates that the election hinged on. I don't know if this is true nor do I particularly care - the important part here is that there's a whole class of pundits and political machinery that operate around it being true (dark shoutouts to The Lincoln Project's grift). For a lot of these people Trump's COVID response was the last straw, and this is another part of the narrative that Trump would have been reelected if not for COVID. Also, everyone has been making the assumption that Trump will return to politics soon.

Trump keeps going on these pro-vaccine spiels that keep popping up in the media (so weird!). It's all calculated to try and get back into favor with these guys and score points with credulous liberals. It really is his normal brand of PR, and we all know PR is something Trump is actually good at. You do not, under any circumstances, gotta hand it to him.

That will help him in the general. It will hurt him with his base against DeSantis if he becomes the GOP darling of CNN while DeSantis becomes the preferred candidate of Fox, OAN, and such.

My feeling is the opposition to the vaccine has become a monster he can no longer control, but hes surprised me before

Well, Trump's PR team seems to disagree but I think all that stuff is largely worthless for me to speculate on. That's why all I had to offer was to point out what he's doing and presume why he's doing it.

Like I said, there is a whole political machine around this and that machine has money so his goal might not even be to win but to continue the grift. Who knows.

The wild thing about the SC vaccine mandates is that literally this week my extremely Republican company finally put forth a vaccine mandate policy because entire departments and locations were getting waylaid by omicron.

It caused an instant backlash, and my boss, who is otherwise extremely generous and smart, in particular told me he didnt think he comply, which meant hed probably have been fired.

Well thats over now, I guess.

The only thing people are going to take from this is that vaccine mandates are unconstitutional(They aren't).

Nothing reasonable will happen.

At the risk of showing my whole ass I'm going to be honest here: I've never heard of these debates until now and didn't quite get it. That said, a quick google and reading three (3) paragraphs of a wikipedia article revealed how grevious an error this is to me. And it's an anti-"CRT" racist propaganda bill so it's probably malicious and not just ignorant.

I just simply have no idea what the significance of teaching an excerpt from these debates as a "founding document" would be or what the fuck the plan is here. Though it probably doesn't matter since the whole bill is trash.

People can oppose the vaccine and still vote for Trump. He isn't going to be forcing anyone to get a vaccine.

As shortsighted as what Harry Reid did with the filibuster for judicial nominees. If a Republican is elected in 2024 as President, the filibuster is probably going to be ended. And we are going to see some extremely partisan bills become law.
