Does anyone — anyone! — think that MConnell would hesitate for an instant to abolish the filibuster if his and Schumer's positions were reversed?

Democrats are traditionally so afraid of what the public will think that they ultimately accomplish little, which leads to the public believing that the parties are the same.

We need to go big! Then, at least, if we fail, we'll fail for a reason. Right now, we might be failing for nothing.
