Ending the filibuster is critical. And only Liz Warren supports ending it.

12. Why were Rs able to take the Senate?

Do you not think that failure to deliver has consequences for a party over the long run? Did you miss the stunning collapse of the Democratic Party at the national, state and local level in the years following the wave elections of 2006 and 2008? Yes, an extraordinary man held the White House but what about the rest of it? Do you think that happened in a vacuum, or that it was just part of some natural cycle? If the answer is yes to either of those, why do you bother with politics at all?

Do you not get that the mantra "we can't do x because Rs will do it too" is a recipe for inaction, inertia and ultimate defeat? Have the Rs ever held back when they had the reins?* Did these last years have no lessons for you?

* and yes, I get it: they will do it again. Which is why we have to be equally bold, play offense just as hard and DELIVER! Seems to me we have been on our heels ever since the late 60s and jaysus H am I sick of it. Also too: it ain't working for SHIT. So, yeah, I don't see a benefit in doing the same shit on a different day and expecting different results.
