I can't tell if you're joking about being stuck in the loop or actually in the loop. -- nm - Reagen May 25, 09:29 5
- No idea what you mean. The tweet is acting like getting rid of the filibuster is something that we could do, but are just scared to. - Inigo May 25, 09:35 4
  - No, that's a misread. No one is going "oh I had a thought. you know what a good idea would be..." - Reagen May 25, 09:41 3
    - I'd say that take is a gross misunderstanding of why Sinema and Manchin won't vote to get rid of it. - Inigo May 25, 09:53 2
      - It's also directed at Dems who are not Manchin and Sinema, who might be afraid of the filibuster "safety net" being lifted - Reagen May 25, 10:10
      - That is the thing though. It's legislative rigor mortis. Don't support it? Ok. Vote that way instead of using the can in the fake hope of some - Reagen May 25, 10:07
