    CNN right now is actually pushing the theory that Biden should have “tried harder” to get GOP Senate votes on S1. Reminder: Bill Clinton got zero GOP House/Sen votes for his big 1993 budget deal. Obama got zero GOP House/Sen votes for 2010 Obamacare enactment.

        There would be no chance of ever getting 10 Republicans, which automatically leads to the undeniable conclusion that the filibuster is the main obstacle to action.

        The filibuster has had a significant effect on how the Senate works and has diminished the legislative branch by narrowing what it even tries to pass. This has become worse with the increased use of the filibuster.

        And what was this mythical "harder try" supposed to entail? The GOP wants to curtail the right to vote - how would they vote for any bill that expanded the right to vote, even minimally..
