It’s not. But both parties digging in and doing nothing isn’t optimal either. You can’t tell me that there aren’t a handful on either side that could be persuaded to break with their party on law making if not for heavy handed party control.
Manchin Will Not Eliminate The Filibuster, Major Setback For Liberal Democrats

Literally all of them. The Covid relief plan is wildly popular. Every aspect of the infrastructure plan is popular. Gun control and background checks are popular.
There's several Republicans who do. But you're presuming that there's at least 10 who think the Dems spending bill is a good idea. Why not have 10 Dems break away and vote against it?

One party rule is terrible which is why it’s a shame Republicans care more about fomenting a culture war instead of governing.
With whom? Hardcore liberals?
If they go back to enforcing the the filibuster rules as written, you’ll see more legislation passed because senators aren’t going to want to waste their time following those rules. Strange how easy that is to believe!

Broad Public Support for Coronavirus Aid Package; Just a Third Say It Spends Too Much
More Americans say the Biden administration made a "good faith" effort working with the opposition than say the same of GOP leaders.

I don’t think 41% of Republicans would be classified as hardcore liberals. Leave the bubble.
They changed the rules 35 years ago. Seems to be holding up.
You're talking Covid relief checks. Not the same as this current spending bill and I think most mature adults would recognize the government is playing with fire printing this much money. But hardcore libs want the system to crash and burn. Think they can replace it if it does.Broad Public Support for Coronavirus Aid Package; Just a Third Say It Spends Too Much

Yes, and a possible thanks to Joe Manchin for not letting the radical left get away with everything.
The great back-lash on the woke cancel culture craziness will flip when normalcy and logic resume.
They didn’t really. They changed how they agreed to interpret the rules. The agreed that they wouldn’t force each other to stand up and “debate”. They agreed to let each other off easy. And why? Maybe so a lot of them would never have to take a difficult vote.
They might even be hardcore Trumpees who agreed with him on the $2,000 payments.

Yes...........
You act like the “radical left” is more spend crazy and debt foolish than the “radical right”. Most people simply have no idea what trillions means. Nor do they care.
I'm kinda glad Manchin will be there to stomp the brakes on even more big spending after a couple more trillion dollars have been tacked onto the national debt via reconciliation for the "infrastructure" bill.
Yeah, especially the politicians, they don't care at all. lol
By the way, it is the RL in power now and both RL&R are not good for the country.
Also, your perceiving me acting is so cute...
They used to go on as long as they could. Now senators are limited to one hour and they can yield their time to others. A major change.
He won’t. Democrats will sweeten the the deal to West Virginia and Manchin will quite frankly be bought off.
Everything is a negotiation.
Ok. Your real act is that you’re not part of the radical right. That is cute!! You don’t pull it off, but it’s cute that you try.Yeah, especially the politicians, they don't care at all. lol

Again. The rules didn’t change. They’ve just decided they don’t want to be bothered with all the annoying details.
