This where the real battle lines are drawn, the republicans know it will fuck them, but that's because of their behavior and nothing else. The minorities are strong in the democratic party, particularly African Americans, the old days of compromise are over, even with Manchin playing blue dog for the folks back home. If they are gonna break the filibuster they might as well go all out and pass only popular legislation, if it polls above a super majority and will help them get elected, go for it. Save anything controversial until after 2022 and only if ya win the senate and keep or increase in the house, ya gotta win power before you can shift the needle. Many American now know what they are up against and are willing to be patient, they know the republicans cannot be trusted with power, priorities must be carefully set.i'm boycotting and still going to the end of the line until every minority patient who wants one gets one..I'm also going to write to CocaCola in Atlanta personally but Joe will do something Federally because he can and fate has brought us here..sometimes as you get older you realize what must be done.
This is where you say let the cards fall where they may..'i don't give a fuck' (bipartisanship)..you just do it..it's for the people and not the bloated republican corpse clinging to a host.
Joe might be able to split the republican senate yet, if their party continues to go off the deep end and they might limit the filibuster, but still keep it for that purpose. They only need a few republican senators to break ranks and sit as independents in a party that is imploding.
