You can push for important things without railroading other, already decided, important things.

They chose a path similar to what the Tea Party did with the Republican party in 2011. It's obstruction unless they get what they want.

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
