      You mean filibuster. The Democrats didn’t eliminate it under Biden out of fear for what Republicans would do when they took power again. Guess what?

        They’re going to get rid of the filibuster anyways?

        And I was pissed off about that but now have to reluctantly give them credit for that. Turned out to be the right call.

        But if they actually use it, the way McConnel did when he was in the minority, then the Republicans will finally get rid of it. They don’t need it, as they will never again be the minority party.

          There is no way we don’t get a massive recession or worse in Trump’s presidency. MAGA won’t care, but a lot of the idiot moderates always blame the incumbent party and will vote in a Democrat.

            Pretty much, honestly I think Kamela would have won if they just put up a reel-to-reel film reminding people Covid-19 is Trump’s fault

              They did, nobody who needed to hear it listened. They were all busy voting on a single issue.

      They should get out of the way. It appears the majority want this.

      It would seem that many need a reminder of how bad it can be.

        Do the majority of people want ACA appealed or do the majority of people not understand what’s coming for them?

          ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ guess we’ll see hu?

          Either way, they’ll get what they voted for.

          Given all the people who wanted to “Repeal Obamacare and replace it with the ACA!”

          The latter

      All it takes to eliminate the filibuster is a bare majority. Democrats did it selectively to carve out exceptions for the few promises they actually wanted to fulfill.
