(19,264 posts)22. Thanks. Which is why the fillibsuter/cloture has to go.
If Democrats have <60 votes in the Senate they will never pass a single item from Biden's agenda. Nothing. Public option - not a single Republican vote. Increase minimum wage - not a single Republican vote. Police reforms - not a single Republican vote. Raise taxes on the rich - not a single Republican vote.
If Biden wants to increase military spending or cut taxes for billionaires Republicans will "cross the aisle" for that. Otherwise they will block everything and then run on how the Democrats can't get anything done and retake the Senate and possibly the House.
If people give you power ..... USE IT.
