“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”

Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

        it’s always one or 2 democrats and it will always be; it was lieberman the last time before sinema and manchin.

          Always is a terrible word. We need to ensure that filibuster removal is run on and believed by all Democrats we elect so even if it is 51/49, we can change the filibuster rule or remove it entirely.

            they won’t even admit that something huge like a genocide is taking place; what chances are there for something small like a rule change with get any attention?

          Democrats have and always will have a rotating villain to blame when they don’t want to pass something. The same way they will always have party sheepdogs
