...then you might have a point.

We have to weigh on our so-called "leaders" hard and resolutely, to let them know what's in the best interest of We the People.

And if they filibuster a good bill the first couple times, at least the sides will become clearly drawn for all to see...

On edit: And of course the Republicans won't come around. We can't keep holding history at bay, waiting for some bipartisan fantasy of sudden illumination for them, either.
