Well this is a no-brainer, isn’t it. As a tool, the filibuster has always been hogwash. If the rules are that you need 60 votes, then make that the official rules. Or don’t, but don’t leave it like it is. She’s probably just talking the talk, but it’s something worth saying and maybe she means it.
Prove it.
I’m excited to see people screaming “Presidents don’t have the power to do that, idiot!” when some far left Trump loving Tankie brings up this promise in another six months.
I don’t understand what you mean. I’m saying prove it as in do what you’re promising.
She won’t. And when it comes time to talk about her failure, you’ll be castigated for bringing it up.
Honestly, I’ll be surprised if I even remember about it next year.
I’ll hold my breath until it’s actually done, but this is a good thing to hear
Seems we’re getting brigaded today. Hilarious.
Brigaded assumes that politics are confined to liberals
How many times does the boy have to cry wolf before people realize there is no wolf? This is more of that ‘on day one’ bullshit we heard from Obama, dangling carrots in front of voters to lure them to the poles only for them to backtrack the day after being sworn in.
At least there’s a carrot now, before we were just getting the stick of “vote for me or the fascists will take over”
They’re still using their stick
Be specific. What exactly?
Because Obama also got a lot done he promised
In contrast, Trump clearly makes up things on the spot to impress whoever is in the room at the time
There actually was a wolf in that analogy. Just cause the villagers decided to ignore the warnings didn’t make him not exist.
There is still no wolf.
Well is she gonna overturn President Joe Mansion’s veto?
Does she feel like appointing an AG who will go after him and his family’s various conflicts of interests?

You’re not wrong, but refrain from attacking other users.
Manchins R replacement is up something like 70-30 in current polling BTW, definitely going R.
And whoever takes his place will be a Republican.
His seat, or his function? Because his seat will be occupied by a Republican. We’ll have to see who will come to occupy his function of convenient turncoat obstructionist. Because that person will be a Democrat.
My point is “is she going to take the necessary action to whip the vote”, Manchin isn’t the only dem senator who’d rather the democrats didn’t accomplish anything as it could hurt their donors.
Really? “Joe Mansion”? That’s Trump-level wordplay. Surely you can do better?
They’re referring to the Senator from West Virginia, who’s literally named Joe Mansion. He’s a living political cartoon of a corrupt politician. He’s also not seeking reelection, so Kamala wouldn’t need to negotiate with him at all to begin with.
It’s spelled Manchin. OP was criticizing the spelling/bad pun
You’re right, I should’ve waited 'til after I had my morning coffee to post 😅
literally
Lol. I agree with what you’re saying, but jesus christ.
If you’re not being hyperbolic, i dont even know what to say.
And just like that, centrists have to pretend that they never liked the filibuster.
Based accelerationist Kamala Harris
I wouldn’t call an ideology that literally just makes everything worse “based”
Well, all that exists are forwards and backwards. What climate apocalypse? /s
