We couldn’t pass a ton of good policies that would’ve improved many lives because McConnell realized denying GOP votes weaponized the 60 threshold. So next time, get rid of the filibuster. Let each side pass the policies they want & let the public decide. That’s accountability https://twitter.com/kyle_lierman/status/936587093006016513 …

Yup, go for it. He’s already shown that he’ll use reconciliation to get a majority vote on anything important anyway.
-
It’s not yet clear to me that a majoritarian Senate would help the Republicans in this Congress. Don’t think things would look that much different if no filibuster.

The nuclear option should be opposed regardless of who’s in control.

This debate is happening in a world that no longer exists. McConnell’s abuse of reconciliation is de facto nuclear.

Adam’s right. We’ve already had two reconciliation votes in one year on transformative legislation.
-
That’s nuclear? I don’t agree with the process. And I think GOP could have been successful with a different approach. But # and transformative vs. non-transformative reconciliation bills is hardly the grounds for calling it nuclear in my opinion.

Maybe we can all agree to get rid of reconciliation after the tax bill is signed into law. It needs to go and has become the new functional nuke option.
-
It certainly isn’t being used for what it was designed for.
