Joe Manchin just took an important filibuster reform off the table

[ancianita]

30. Schumer must force SineManchin unity by nuking the filibuster. Democracy in SB1 demands it.

What voters in 2022 will remember is that Schumer backed down on "bold."

America is bipartisan about the Biden legislative agenda. They won't care about no damn filibuster.

What they'll be pissed about is that not-bold Schumer let Biden's climate and infrastructure agenda stall. Democratic stall lost in 2010 because it was seen as weak, and will definitely be seen as weak on

-- Removing the deadline for the ratification of the equal rights amendment.
-- Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act
-- Sabika Sheikh Firearm Licensing and Registration Act
-- Gun Violence Prevention and Community Safety Act of 2020
-- Right to Organize Act of 2021
-- Presidential Transition Enhancement Act of 2019
-- CARES Act
-- Commission to Study and Develop Reparation Proposals for African-Americans Act
-- Bipartisan Background Checks Act
-- George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2020

Schumer should not be any more afraid of McConnell than Republicans should be of Trump.

Bold means Schumer should be like "bring it on" and always, always remind Republicans that their 2022 jobs will depend on what they do for their bipartisan voting constituents by voting WITH Democrats.

Run the Democratic Majority Senate, Chuck. Losing is not an option.
