Reply #115: There is a world of difference between 55 Senate seats [View All]

and 60. 60 is enough to break a filibuster. 55 isn't, not unless they force through their insane "nuclear option" - which someday will come back and bite them in the ass.

They don't quite have everything. Remember those 13. Those 13 will be the ones doing the filibustering. So yeah, those 13 deserve our accolades, our praise for their bravery and spine. My point is that not every single Democrat had to join them to make the symbolic protest. So let's not go totally overboard and throw those babies out with the bathwater here.

I believe in standing up for principles and having spine. I do not believe in total ideological purity to the point of preciousness, though.
