My plan to get rich buying "a penny for your thoughts" and reselling as "my 2¢ worth" is advancing nicely.

Was just wondering if “you can’t spell ‘laundramat’ without ‘drama’” was a thing.

Don't know if they'd flat out oppose it, but given the idea was put forth by an idiot and the details would be fleshed out by people who'd secretly hate it, I'm sure they'd want to change some things at a minimum.

Definitely got that sense from Roger Marshall.

Don't know enough to disagree with you but if ambition led her to respond to her 2020 loss in the presidential primary with "why don't I just spend a bunch more years in the Senate", then wow.

Even an opposition caucus that could police members, so we don’t have to ask “is it just the 8?”, would be a start.

I'm an indie by nature but I live in a closed primary state now and there's no way I'm keeping myself out of the primary process, so I've been registered as a Democrat since getting here.

My understanding is "I'm filibustering but instead of that forcing us to focus on this bill we're just going to do something else" is called "two track" and goes back to 1972.

Have been saying for days that behind Sinema and Manchin were hiding (not very well) a bunch of Dems who at most would carve out a couple more exceptions. There's no concensus that it's broken, much less how to fix it.

Even people who don't fly have an interest in planes not dropping out of the sky on top of them. I'm good with taxpayer-funded ATC. 🙂

I saw that. I wasn't questioning the fact, just trying to figure out what's *very* different about Democrats that there are so many, but so few vote in primaries, when voting in primaries is how you get associated with a party.

Yea, the issue certainly isn't all gerrymandering. How Democrats even got that registration advantage is a mystery to me. You don't register with a party but they use primary votes to determine, and R turnout in primaries seems way higher than D recently.

Loved the books. The movies were fine but the balrog was the only thing I thought really added value above the books. 🙂

If you just mean that a list of states by population and a list of states by the number of electors they get would be in the same order, sure.

Their number of house seats is roughly proportional to population. Wyoming gets 200% more electors than it has House seats and California about 4%.

Yes. My problem is the two track filibuster that lets other business just continue while an infinite number of bills can be getting filibustered simultaneously. You want to pay the price of bringing the Senate to a stop until your one filibuster is addressed, I'm open to that.

Both really true. If small states had power more proportional to their size, the composition of the potential tipping point states would change. Those states sit on the shoulders of the small states.
