But will they succeed?

Would the rule changes enable them to steal the 2022 election?

Steal election. Steal filibuster. Steal voters rights.

Marxist junta’s playbook.

As long as Manchin and Sinema support the filibuster, then this is going nowhere.

They nuke the filibuster and they’ll actually destroy the Republic.

These are dangerous times. Every month seems like a escalation over the previous month.

I always say democrats will win eventually. Election is like game. When one side is determined not to follow rule while other side do, the side who don’t follow rule win always

With gop occupies way many counties, if they vote the way democrats did, they would have controlled 3 branches of government easily.

No, instead they still believe in vote integrity bs even at the price of losing country

Unconstitutional.

But that’s never stopped the RAT party before.

If this bill ever gets signed into law, it will lead to and result in the certain death of our Republic and all of the principles of liberty and the rule of law this country was founded upon. In truth, the USA will officially become a communist dictatorship ruled by the criminal elite, more so than it already is. It will also provide a “get out of jail free card” for every traitor in DC who is behind the communist take over of America. The DC democrats and RINOS need this bill to pass like breath not only for the millions they will loot from the huge pool of money, but also to put their criminal minds at ease and free them of worry from their crime of treason.

Anyone remember all their outrage and rants not to remove the filibuster when they were in the minority?

If Goebbels and Streicher were alive, they would write for “The Hill.”

The Senate is supposed to represent the legislative interests of the states, not the whims of the people (that's what the House is for).

I can't imagine that any state would want to give up its oversight of its own elections.

This is clearly a single-party issue that is suicide for state legislative authority.

The filibuster rule was there to ensure that states agree to do what's best for the union, not what's best for half the union plus one. In the Senate, it has nothing to do with the proportion of the population across the states in the union (the "Senate is undemocratic" argument from radical House members).

Schumer’s last attack on the filibuster brought us several SC justices.

Democrats know that if they don’t pass the Cheat Forever Act, they are going to get absolutely slaughtered both in the midterms and then in 2024 after MAGA Republicans pass real election integrity laws in several key swing states. Stuffing ballot boxes is the Donkey’s only chance to hang on to power.

Dems first used nuclear option on the filibuster in 2013.

Then McConnell went nuclear in 2017.

It’s kind of hard to cry “foul” when both parties do it. If it’s wrong, it’s wrong—no matter who does it and no matter what the reason.

I’ve often wondered why we do not have a national voter ID with a picture and thumb print of each and every CITIZEN.

I’m sure they’d say...but there are those who cannot afford it or because of their economic status they cannot get to the government office to acquire an official voter ID.

Give it to them free of charge and send a bus to the poorest of the poor areas to give’em a lift.

It is insane to not require an ID to prove who you are during an election.

Giving up the filibuster is giving up the relevance of any single senator. It will become the house where the members are totally irrelevant and the leadership is everything.
