When Moscow Mitch didn't have the 60 votes

24. Dems should get rid of it.

Majority rule (51-50) should be the threshold not super majority. But that apparently offends Manchin’s sensibilities.

If mid-terms give the Senate majority back to GOP and at this point there is no reason to think it won’t with all of vote suppression, gerrymandering and election rule changes by state GOP’s and the GOP finds itself short of the 60 but still the majority they will nuke the filibuster by lunchtime on their 1st day of being back in the majority.

The Dems are frittering away what could be their last best opportunity to make a change that would bring fairness back to our election system. Because they are either in denial thinking there are boundaries of process and precedent that the GOP would never violate or the Dems still simply do not understand who they are dealing with.

As much as I despise McConnell and how he treated President Obama and his actions on SCOTUS seats it would be nice to see Majority Leader Schumer and Speaker Pelosi get some of that IDGAF what the GOP wants attitude and start using every tool in the box to advance the Dems agenda and start holding people accountable. Enough time has been spent trying to tame bipartisanship.
