Love Stole the Day posted:You know I love you but counterpoint: Nixon said that if you control the budget you control the government. The Chairman of the Budget Committee has more influence on the budget than anybody else in the entire government. Sanders doesn't have political power with the Democrats and that's the issue. I like Sanders personally, I like Warren as well! But these are individual Senators that have gently caress all control when the leaders of the actual party rat gently caress them at every chance they get. You also miss the fact that when the Dems take the house Pelosi has said her first act is passing pay-go. Which effectively means Sanders is crippled before it even starts. The leadership is the problem, and the leadership is specifically a problem of the Democrats having NY and CA. Sadly giving up NY and CA and thus getting better leadership means the party gets wiped out. So "lovely Democrats being lovely" is sort of baked into the system for the future. When Schumers final act before the elections is rushing through judges and Pelosi has flat out stated she's going to pay-go cripple any progressive agenda before it can get to the senate (keep in mind, these are two people who claim up and down that the middle class they are defending are 200k-2million urbanites who fought to keep their Bush enacted tax cuts on the books cause LOL rent in NYC am I right creative professionals) having Sanders wield the budget gavel is a show for fools and worth as much as mouse turds in dry cereal. Also we should play games again! I am done with the three months of work hell, and got a spiffy ultrawide gsync monitor because reasons.

This isn’t accurate for Washington state, we’re mail-in only. Our “closing” time will probably be whenever the cutoff is for same-day postmarking, probably 5 or 6 PM PST.

Aren't the Democrats the ones who changed that rule to 51 votes in the first place right before they lost the Senate last time?

Well yeah, Dem's gonna Dem. At this point we are just hoping the left gets radicalized enough that maybe three generations from now poo poo won't suck, but we're hosed.

Reid changed it for (I think) Cabinet nominees, but McConnell changed it for Supreme Court justices when the first vote to confirm Gorsuch failed. Basically the majority can change it whenever so if it's at 60 votes from 2018-2020 that's an unambiguously good thing unless you think Trump should be allowed to nominate anyone ever again.

If Shumer is majority leader, that rule won't matter anyway (except that Shumer won't be able to help himself and will cut bipartisan deals for judges in exchange for a cotton candy maker in the Senate cafeteria).

Just voted for all Dems in rural north Texas, including a handful who don't seem to be aware of what the job they're running for is. It won't matter anyway.

I miss Christopher Hitchens, I miss Oliver Sacks, I miss poor Robin Williams, And I miss Sylvia Plath. Every morning's a desert, And every night is a flood. They say that parties can kill you. Well, sometimes I wish they would. And it's a little uncanny What they all managed to do: Got me believing in things I knew were never true.
