There is not a lot we can do in the minority to stop some of the worst things. But too often, we don’t use existing loopholes due “traditions” that R’s have no problem obliterating. We need to show that we’re fighting with every tool available.

If Republicans had been keeping norms for the last several years, I would agree.

But, I think they will get rid of the filibuster as soon as it’s convenient for something they want to pass. Just like they held Scalia’s seat and rushed to fill RBG.

It gives me the ick to say it, but ask yourself “What would Mitch McConnell do?” And do that.

I’m really hoping to see Senate Dems fight with fire this next term and not hold so tightly to norms. The norms are gone. We’re gonna need to create new ones at some point but right now we’ve got to fight back as hard as possible and make sure people know you’re doing it.

This makes sense but also, Chuck Schumer has not shown the skills and fire that I think are/have been necessary for this moment. (Add Dick Durbin to that as well)

I’d really like to see new leadership in our Senate minority.
