We need a word to describe the opposite of Green Lanternism: the fetishization of doing nothing. Maybe Garfieldism? Much of the Democratic party leadership is addicted to Garfieldism. They just want to sleep in and do nothing, wish it was Friday, etc. https://twitter.com/dylanmatt/status/1522396849151352839 …

You think Collinowski and/or Manchinema are up for a filibuster exception here?

Seems that Sinema and Manchin already aren’t. Now you need both of the other two. People who work in the press could ask Murkowski and Collins about this directly and then we might know if this is on the table.

Jeet, Jeet, Jeet… You know better than that and please don’t pretend that you do not. In that regard you don’t sound any different than the accounts saying, “Dems have the trifecta. Why can’t they do <insert dream here>?” The answer is almost always PM Manchin of the WV riding.

You think the Democratic leadership can override the filibuster if Manchin, Sinema, Collins, and Murkowski have all already made it clear they won’t vote to overrule the parliamentarian? How?

Harris could unilaterally end it if she wanted. People were writing about it early in the administration when they were hopeful rather than defensive and making excuses:https://www.msnbc.com/opinion/vice-president-kamala-harris-could-kill-filibuster-herself-n1256983 …

Who is "they?" If you mean the Democratic leadership, please let me know how they can force Manchin and Sinema to go along with overriding the filibuster.

You think it’s productive to get mad at Manchin and Sinema rather than the GOP, but you won’t explain why.
