I must say, I do look forward to the argument shifting from "we need to take back the Senate" to "the republicans are going to filibuster"


Budget reconciliation. Stuff what you can.

If you have to do it in the dead of night like GOP tax cuts, you do it

The Swamp
:camby:

The Latinos and Native Americans won Arizona for Biden.

I forgot about the substantial Native American vote in Arizona. Good point.

People are still chasing this Texas turning Democrat unicorn. :why:

Beto best chance was in 2018.

You don't turn a state in one or two elections. You plant the seed and let it sprout. Beto will turn Texas into a legitimate purple state soon. People absolutely love Beto in Houston, Austin, San Antonio, El Paso and Dallas. That's why I was thinking he has a shot at Governor. He may be better off running for Senate in 2024 again though. If Texas gets more renewable energy jobs in, that will definitely sway it similar to how Georgia went. It will happen within the next 10-20 years.

Arizona has been trending Blue for years. Stop giving republicans underserved praise.

She deserves some credit. She could've sat her old ass down, but she didn't. It's OK to give praise when it's deserved :manny:

Most things can't be passed via budget reconciliation.

Regardless, Manchin is about to eat up all your time negotiating for stupid ass traditions.

Breh you don't know Texas, like I know Texas. :snoop:

Stop chasing the damn unicorn.:why:

The rural areas run Texas politics not the urban cities.

Dems have a better chance at trying to get Florida back than chasing the Texas unicorn. :snoop:

This is what I said yesterday, all this really means is that Biden's judicial candidates will actually get through and the easy stuff will actually come to a Senate vote instead of being squashed by McConnell alone. But I don't expect the country to change until we get at least 6-8 more years of demographic shift.

Democrats do need to start really pushing liberal legislation though and forcing someone to block it though. They're not going to get the big millennial/black/liberal enthusiasm they need to make those gains in the new demographic unless they actually give millennials/black folk/liberals proof that they're at least trying to change something.
