Right fucking now.
Make DC a state. Make Puerto Rico a state. Pass the Voting Rights Act. Expand the Supreme Court
And then bring it back if they have to...SUSPEND the filibuster.
Maybe they will do it then?

(3,461 posts)It wont do many good to get rid of the filibuster if we cant even get fifty votes. Well just look weak and stupid. And then the Republicans get to have it and go nuts.
When they win, we lose.
When we win, we lose.
Were never allowed to wield power.

(91,965 posts)however, we do have a chance to make Washington DC a state since I believe that requires a simple majority
If that is true, the problem will be Manchin, because he realizes that he will lose his influence if Washington DC becomes a state
