Mitch McConnell openly plotting to steal Justice Breyer's seat and letting everyone know about it.

[Soul On Ice]

I said no such thing nor implied it. There is almost always a clear distinction between Democratic and Republican candidates and their party platforms; so much so that not voting at all shouldn't be an option.

Looks like you were replying to Ray V and you agreed that he may be right (about people not wanting to vote democrats). But that people should still do it anyway because of the evil Republicans. @Camille even has/had a sig saying that 60% of people don't vote.
Why do you think that is homie? Honest question.

If they were to change the filibuster, they would only need Kamala. They choose not to.

They are not against changing the filibuster rules to require those wanting to invoke it to actually talk continuously to hold the floor.
They are hesitant to change it to reflect a simple majority for fear of what would happen when Republicans gain control. You know if they do under a simple majority they would ram through just about anything they'd want and Dems would be powerless to stop them. Realistically the best we could hope for is that the rules are changed to require 55 votes to invoke cloture to force the end of a filibuster instead of the current 60.

They’re setting precedent without power.

Like I said earlier: you don’t know you’ve been conquered.

Breyer is a selfish asshole. He should resign and let Biden fill the seat, but
he wont. That is what Ginsburg did to Obama.

Biden on working with Senate Republicans: 'I'll never publicly embarrass them' | TheHill






President-elect Joe Biden expressed optimism that he will be able to work with Republicans because of his years working alongside them, despite a sharply divided Congress.

“My leverage is, every senior Republican knows I’ve never once, ever, misled them,” Biden said on a telephone call Wednesday with several columnists, according to The New York Times. “I’ll never publicly embarrass them.”

Biden faces a Congress deeply divided along party lines. Many Republican lawmakers have sided with President Trump's unproven claims of election fraud.

But Biden told the journalists on the call, which included Times columnist David Leonhardt, The Washington Post's Jonathan Capehart and The Wall Street Journal's Gerald F. Seib, that he thinks the country is in a different place now that will allow for agreement and action on certain issues — including the environment.

“I’m going to be able to get stuff done on the environment you all are not going to believe,” he said, according to the Times. “I couldn’t have gotten it done six years ago.”

He also said he is hopeful bipartisan work can get done in responding to the coronavirus pandemic. The virus has infected more than 18 million people and killed more than 329,000 in the U.S., and has posed significant economic challenges nationwide.

“There’s a new sense of urgency on the part of the public at large,” he said. “The American public is being made painfully aware of the extent and damage and incredibly high cost of failing to take the kind of measures we’ve been talking about.”

The GOP is trying to do the same thing in California with the recall.

They got their eyes on Senator Diane Feinstein who is 88 years old and needs to step down while Gov. Newsom is in office.

You see it and I see it, but do the rest understand what’s happening? To me this is a coordinated effort to make things look complicated. This is all a ruse to shred the rule of law and invite an aggressive response.

Biden is an idiot. I get that there's a lot of theatre in Washington amongst the politicians but between his 8 years as VP and his time as President only idiot doesn't recognize that the other side is the enemy not friends waiting to work with him. So either he's stupid or complicit and in too many cases Biden is complicit. Nobody other than the politicians namely the centrist Dems give 2 fucks about bipartisanship. Do what's right by the people and they don't care whether it was 60 votes or 51.

Pure nonsense, baseless assertions, topped off with mindless inane drivel. I suffer the willfully ignorant and uninformed only so long. Your time is up.
