Why do I feel like we are being bullied in the playground and not fighting back?

49. The other side fights dirty

Because the DEMS allow it. I will scream it at the top of my lungs. WHY DOES THE FILIBUSTER STILL EXIST???????? It Allows McConnell complete control of the senate. Schumer needs to blacklist Sinema and Manchin, strip them of everything he can. The DCC and the DNC needs to cut them off. And before anyone says "but but we'll lose control of the Senate." Newsflash, we don't control it now, McConnell does because of the filibuster. And odds are, it will be formally lost in 2022 because NOTHING will get done because that god damn rule still exists and Sinema and Manchin were molly coddled and the public judges you by what you got done. WHich will be exactly zero at this rate. Show some courage, do the right thing, even it if costs you your job. Pelosi and the house did exactly that when the ACA passed. SEVERAL house DEMS lost their seats because of it. But it was the right thing to do. Stop effing worrying about losing control of a body that you DON'T have control of now and will most certainly formally lose if you keep insisting on trying to "work with" obstructionists, Republican and Democrat.
