I think that's actually the best strategy for the budget I've seen proposed yet. They might eke out some "smaller" wins on issues like trans rights and health care subsidies but this would be a big win and one that was popular with most Americans and basically all Democrats. And I think they could easily go for the big win and some of the other stuff too.
"Bernstein says (and I think he’s right) that Republicans would never agree to the Ending Dictator Rule. It’s basically asking them to repeal the entire Trump agenda. They’ll just nuke the filibuster, and probably quickly."
Rather than be cowards about the Republicans doing something they, in their short-sightedness, want to do anyway? I think the Democrats should fight the Republicans to the KNIFE on all this, and show they actually give a fuck about this country and not just their Phoney-Baloney Jobs!
(Insert Mel Brooks from BLAZING SADDLES saying exactly that)
The Democrats have failed even the most basic ability to get something out of any compromises they've made, that it would scare the SHIT out of the Republican Party when they started fighting back...something Schmuck Schumer has proven remarkably unwilling to do.
I was initially skeptical but … I like this idea. Good argument & well framed.
