Cornel West, Progressive Scholar, Announces Third-Party Bid for President

[Tony Stark]

Any healthcare bill would need 60 votes, and all 49 Senators on board.

And Obama had to drop public option because of centrist Dems.
Did Sen. Joe Lieberman just kill the public option?

Biden could have supported ending the filibuster.We want results,not excuses

 

[Tony Stark]

Cory Booker blamed Republicans, nice try.

And police reform is Congressional action like a lot of things which you don't seem to know much about.

With The President leading the charge.Biden uses the bully pulpit to lead the charge to give the police more money though.

'leading the charge'

Ya, Republicans will suddenly fall in line if he led the charge.

You just want empty words, that's all. Cornel West is perfect for you.

Pack the courts, pass public option, pass police reform all with 50 votes in the Senate.

Something past President's couldn't' do with super majorities.

Whatever.

Simple-minded people believe the President can do these thing and make it stick...so they vote based on that...its sad

If the President has The Senate and House as Biden did his first 2 years he could have.

Every bill would need 60 Senate votes to pass a filibuster

Only 51 votes are needed to get rid of the filibuster.

Only 51 votes are needed to get rid of the filibuster.

Democrats need to elect 51 Senators who are willing to vote to remove the filibuster
Seems like that would be easier then trying to create new states

The Democrats did do this in 2013 when they voted to remove the filibuster for District Court nominations...and six years later they lost the Supreme Court for a generation

...Changing the rules is a dangerous game
