There are times for nuance.

[Atticus]

There are times for bipartisanship.

There are times for courtesy and respect.

None of these ways to proceed is at all appropriate when one is engaged in a knife fight in a phone booth.

We MUST pass HR 1 or prepare for another decade of having to find some way to overcome the GOP gerrymandering and voter suppression their state legislators are already preparing.

They MUST stop HR 1 or face the terrifying prospect of FAIR elections which they know they would lose.

As my rural dirt-poor ancestors learned, when you find yourself having to deal with a frantic cornered rat, you'd best strike hard and fast and with whatever tools you find available---shovels, rakes, hammers, ---whatever it takes.

Now is not the time for giving a damn what Republicans want, what they might say or how they feel. Now is the time for doing "whatever it takes".

1. Completely agree. Now is so not the time to

play nice. Kick, hit, bite.... whatever it takes to get this passed.

2. 2 "Democratic" Senators care more about some historical

precedent from the Jim Crowe era than the American People.

3. I totally agree in theory, but I wonder what the implementation of the strategy would look like IRL?

If our side were to say F*** Your Feelings to the RePuQs, what would that actually involve?

And what are the chances for success?

5. Yup. Come to grips with the fact that Trumplicans are lying hypocrites, and never do the right thing

"Bipartisan" is an oxymoron in the age of Tump.

[AverageOldGuy]

6. Agreed!!!

So far, Speaker Pelosi is jamming it through, Republicans be damned.

In the Senate, Democrats are constrained by our tiny majority and arcane Senate procedures, but, Schumer seems to be using every possible means to push things through.
