@rightaboutbeer i’ll give you that. but i think the bigger problem is that the dems don’t actually want to get as much shit done as we’re lead to believe they do. there is a lot of room for progress between what they’re doing now and “fuck the rules” that they’re completely leaving on the table.

@3MagBrewing I mean I followed all of the rest of it and agree mostly I just don't think everything is possible there when dems should just say 'fuck the rules' like the gop has been for decades. Which is really the point. We need to fight as dirty as they do when it come to gettin'shit done

@rightaboutbeer we saw some creative use of the byrd rule in yesterday’s vote-o-rama. some R amendments got voted down by Ds, only to be rewritten by Ds so the rule would apply & require 60 votes, this allowed battleground Ds to vote in favor & save face, but ensure the amendment wouldn’t pass.

i’m just hoping that @PattyMurray or another @DNC senator will add an amendment to make this right before it’s too late. hundreds of thousands of working class livelihoods depend on it.
