Explain like I'm a liberal: If the democrats say they need filibuster proof majority to pass the $2k checks, why don't they just make the republicans stand up and filibuster to prevent their constituents from getting the $2k that Trump demanded?
Please something more than "because the democrats are controlled opposition".
Yeah my understanding is it’s essentially a veto. They just declare that they object, and since they COULD filibuster, everyone agrees that they did and it’s defeated. I think that just making them actually do it would be fun.
