Was that not part of the announcement? Mitch promised he would get the votes, in the spirit of bipartisanship. Well he didn't promise, but he gave a positive indication. Well it was less of a positive indication and more of a throat-cutting gesture but he seems open to the idea

seriously though I stick by my reading that losing the primary convinced him that he doesn't have the will of the people on his side and took all the fight out of him, but goddamn he really is committed to licking Biden's boots regardless

GetFiscal and BabyFinland were right on their podcast to describe the Sanders campaign as a "Bernie ex machina", people were expecting that once in the office he'd just be able to sweep away everything

Sadly I think Sanders still has people that believe in him which is why him lying to them makes him such a lovely person.

Raskolnikov38 posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diplomacy_of_the_American_Civil_War There's also my favorite anecdote of the war, which is near the end, Jefferson Davis went behind all the Confederate governors back to do shadow negotiations with Britain that maybe, possibly, potentially the South would give up slavery if Britain entered the war. At the end of the day, the Civil War was about slavery, but more importantly, much like World War I, it was essentially over loving Nothing At All.

Davis would have promised that but he was never ever gonna do that, since he rejected Patrick Cleburne's proposal to free and arm the slaves

Ruzihm posted:I honestly feel like this is all kabuki theater to get Manchin and Sinema on board. If the Republicans were smart they'd actually support this bill in order to throw the Democratic moderates a bone of "bipartisanship still exists" and to take heat off the idea of abolishing/changing the filibuster. But they can't help themselves and they're probably gonna pull the plug on it, which puts more heat on the centrists to fall in line for a big reconciliation bill. i hate these assholes all the more when they outright recognize governance is all a bunch of stupid theatrics yet still decide theyre just going to loving go along with it anyway
