LMAO Dems said beforehand that they don't want this to actually happen, it was designed as a message bill that just "encourages the president to do something", but even this failed.

    The Senate is busted pretty busted though. The Republicans don't need to nuke the filibuster to get their judges on the Supreme Court and keeping it in place fucks over Democrats more.

    Once it's taken away it's not like they can put it back when the Dems win again. Since the rules are refreshed when a new Congress begins

      when the Dems win again

      I have a minority view at this site but I think our democracy will die and I think the GOP will control congress and the presidency for the foreseeable future (decades?). My take...

      I think the 2022 will have many "irregularities" and many races will be unlawfully given to the GOP. And I think the 2024 elections will be a total shitshow and farce. And we will no longer be in a democracy.
