Jeez this is literally the complete opposite of what has happened in the last 20 years. I mean seriously. Dems always accused the GOP that they would sink the filibuster and then Harry Ried decided to do it despite McConnel warning him it would come back to haunt him and sooner than he could imagine. And that is exactly what happened. McConnel again is opposing the ending of the last bit of the filibuster and although no longer the leader he retains the support to stop any dumping of it by MAGA. So, for at least 2 years the filibuster is safe (if MAGA strengthens their position in 2026 then all bets are off).
You guys just can't admit you were wrong about Sinema. She saved the Dems asses because she had what the rest of her colleagues didn't - foresight. Oh, and she also saved the Dems from their stupid court expansion scheme. It would be 13 Justices now if they had succeeded and Trump would have responded by adding 5-10 more (of the most extreme variety).
We will have imo opinion a Russian agent in charge the next four years, but if the Dems had their way the even limited checks on him that are in place wouldn't be there.
