You can push for important things without railroading other, already decided, important things. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:40 6
- And they aren't pushing fringe things. They are pushing things the majority of Americans support. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:43 1
  - They are plenty of things most people in the U.S. want but won't pass through Congress. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:47
- You can't though. You need leverage to push things. -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:42 3
  - Yes, you can. There are other ways to push. They just chose the nuclear option. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:44 2
    - I disagree, there's no way to push otherwise. And your IM could speak to Manchin too. He and Sinema are *also* a minority of the party. - ty97 Oct 20, 11:46 1
      - Push =/ 100% get what you want. - Inigo Oct 20, 11:49
First I’d stop framing his opinions as “having a fit”. That works almost as well as “calm down, you’re getting hysterical.” - Will Hunting Oct 20, 11:40 2
- I meant if he were to actually threaten to leave the party, that would be a 'fit'. Spammy suggests Dem 'activists' should walk on eggshells -- nm* - ty97 Oct 20, 11:42 1
  - There's a difference between "walking on eggshells" and actively trying to push people out of the party. - spamlet Oct 20, 11:53
(FWIW, I don't think he's switching nor do I want him to switch, but the man needs to reassess some priorities) -- nm - ty97 Oct 20, 11:38
