    Dan McLaughlin Retweeted Andrew Prokop

    They only fit together if you assume that Democrats expect the abolition of the filibuster to lead to rules that make it impossible for Republicans to ever regain power.https://twitter.com/awprokop/status/1406976684797087750 …

    As @SeanTrende points out a lot of people argue both that the GOP is a terrifying extremist party, and that Dems have little or nothing to fear from ditching the filibuster. And those arguments sit together oddly. https://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2021/06/21/would_nuking_the_filibuster_really_help_democrats_145959.html … pic.twitter.com/cZV6amMcui

        No, there are some who are aware that if Dems nuke to filibuster, it’s only a matter of time until R’s win and can pass what they wish. Although, what they want to pass is generally unliked by the country (see one national popular vote win since 1992). So R’s passing what they

        Want will result in even more people voting against them in the future.

        Yes, that's of course what they think, more or less. But even the crazy-eyed versions of this don't tend to work out. That's precisely what the D's thought they did in 2016 and, well...they lost to the least qualified candidate for POTUS, maybe ever?

        If making it easy to vote and making it hard to stop people from voting prevents the GOP from regaining power, that's the GOP's fault. Everyone should support: ending gerrymandering, automatic registration for life—updated w postal address, lookup of ID at poll if ID reqd, etc.pic.twitter.com/ehDoygBkp1

        Imagine unashamedly wanting fewer people to vote. Wild.

        wow... now you’re gettin it Danzo... rules like ending partisan gerrymandering that allow a minority party like the GQP to insure and maintain wildly disproportionate representation... rules that prevent a minority from blocking legislation with 90% public approval...
