Its pretty easy to get discouraged. Schumer wont even require a talking filibuster to make it a tiny bit harder for Republicans to use the filibuster to thwart democratic lawmaking.

He wont vote for any change to the way it works now, which requires zero effort on the part of the senator who is filibustering.
