Election Day November 5,2024

So there is one primary person, Sinema, (ok 2) from the Democrats that really saved their bacon (She saved the filibuster - you'd think the Dems would learn from Ried's mistake), but the Dems got rid of her for doing that. Fess up posters that attacked her, acknowledge that you were wrong about her. Frankly she was probably the best Senator maybe even overall legislator in Washington because she took practicalities into consideration for proposed legislation (her and her spreadsheets).

The one thing the GOP has never been smart at is realizing that some of the dumb stuff they do always comes back to bite them in the ass.

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.

1)Not a Dem to start.

2)She didn't stop the expansion of the SC Biden said he wouldn't do it when he was campaigning the last time so there is that

3)trump is a Russian agent.

With John Thune possibly becoming senate leader you might be right about the filibuster staying in place for a republican he is relatively pragmatic

The fact of the matter is this: Republicans have protected the filibuster while all democrats have attacked it sans 2 folks.

The filibuster should remain in place. Major legislation need a clear majority

I’ve already heard lying democrats saying now we need for it to remain and suddenly it’s not a racist relic anymore.
