Republicans will filibuster it, and Democrats will say they can't just scrap the filibuster and pass shit with a simple majority because what if that leads to Republicans playing hardball in the future???
Extremely — simple majority. It’s a bunch of parliamentary procedural nonsense but the quick details are here: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_option
They will always have the republican supreme court to blame.
And libs love compromise, bipartisanship and sucking up to the far right so lots of them will fall for bullshit like "We can't just stop putting children in cages, we need to reach across the aisle to reach a compromise if we are to heal the division in the American soul"
Dems: oh shit now we have to do stuff
I’m so curious how they’re going to get out of doing the $2000

How easy would it be for them to get rid of it?

"It was already blocked and it would set a bad precedent to just immediately overturn the resolutions of the previous government"
"It would be divisive"
Manchin
I don’t think they need Manchin because Josh Hawley supports it.
Lindsey Graham claims to but I don’t buy it.

Its the Supreme Court's fault
Zoomer turnout is why the Republicans now have a Senate supermajority
