Yup, agree completely. Trump will veto most of it, but he’s a craven narcissistic populist in addition to being a fascist. El-Sayed’s suggestion to call Medicare for All “Trumpcare” may in fact be all the ego-stroking needed to make the difference. Either way, if he vetoes everything, we can go into 2028 with a clear demonstration of what needs to happen and who is in the way of it.
At least if we get rid of filibuster, Trump will have to veto everything. With the filibuster, it’s the senate’s fault for sucking. Without, it’s Trump’s fault for sucking.
Maybe Republicans had a reason to keep the filibuster, since it makes Trump’s job easier, but I don’t think there’s any legitimate reason for Democrats to keep it.
Filibuster is just so stupid. In the future, after we hopefully abolish it, nobody will understand why we ever had it.
Just like when we get real universal healthcare, people will look back at these times and wonder what the fuck was wrong with us idiots.
Trump and his veto are not a problem. He is the most easily manipulated moron in history. You just need two things to get him to do anything, power and flattery.
If the full documents come up as well as the handling of Iran, then there could be 10 Republican Senators that vote that way. If not, at least they’ll be on record for how they voted which is also something many of them would want to avoid.
Just need to find some willing to retire at the end of their terms, and some to find the backbone. There’s enough old fucks that several might already be looking at that anyway.

There’s a chance he could get impeached as well - should investigations become the core focus, assuming he’s not rubber stamping legislation.
At least 10 Republican Senators would have to vote to impeach for it to stick
