For real, sketch me a single scenario where the GOP abolishing the filibuster while Biden is president is beneficial. If only we in the GOP could expedite legislation to Joe Biden's desk to sign, instead of just continuing to throw sand in the gears and obstruct all governance until 2024.

Joe Biden will sign every piece of GOP legislation that comes across his desk in the spirit of compromise because he is deeply conservative

well imagine a scenario where they want to actually pass something in response to a sudden crisis, and it isn't something the dems would automatically agree with anyway (like giving unlimited funds to military contractors or w/e)?

(lol lmao)

they still wouldn't need to eliminate the filibuster b/c all they'd need to do is indicate they're willing to give up the legislative equivalent of used chewing gum and Joe Biden and Democratic party leadership will be falling over themselves to sign on to a "bipartisan" initiative

How many of the republican-leaning seats currently held by dems were redistricted into R+10 and how many were won by dems in the 2020 anti-trump wave that they're desperately trying to recreate by begging elon to let trump back onto twitter

The democrats have been acting like such pathetic losers for the entire time they have had unlimited power it's really almost as if they have already lost in november. I know that's not technically how time works but it sure seems like it.

they intended to do nothing and claim credit for the pandemic ending on its own and the economy rebounding and then when that plan ran into trouble they panicked and decided they needed to do nothing harder

i could be remembering wrong but i thought the original reports were citing biden admin members involved in the discussions who spoke anonymously because the proposals were not yet finalized, which i generally interpret as intentional leak to gauge reactions
