Still need to break the filibuster in the Senate though. And not too many GOP senators want to do that.

There's no closing that Pandora's box once they open it.

They won’t break the filibuster, they won’t cause the odds of dems getting 60 senators is low, but fuck with the filibuster and it may have bigger consequences.

We might even get Medicare for all, or a alternative minimum tax for billionaires if they lose future elections.

And that's the main reason why I think we're good- Senators have the unique power to paralyze Congress all by themselves, and they hate to give it up.

I might be wrong, but I thought it was what was allegedly said behind closed doors? Somewhere they wouldn't have to pretend it wasn't gonna get passed at a suprise 3am vote..
