A proposal for the Democrats from me

[kelly1mm]

1. The Republican Senate will get rid of the filibuster either in total or in part using arguments put forward by

Democrats in the past 4 years. There are multiple Democratic Senators on record calling for the end of the filibuster as an 'undemocratic relic of slavery'. This argument could end the filibuster in total.

If they want to keep a rump of the filibuster they will just use Vice President Harris's argument that getting rid of the filibuster for important things (in her view, abortion rights) is fine. The Republicans will just say their important things are raising the debt ceiling.

If all that fails, President Trump can always fall back on the 'magic trillion dollar coin' plan that was so popular here on DU in the past.

(As you may have guessed I have LONG been an opponent to getting rid of the filibuster for EXACTLY the situation we find ourselves in today)
