Actually, how many Senate RETHUGS do we need to pass the Biden stimulus package?

[bluestarone]

I know we can pass it in the House. Wonder when the votes will take place?

1. Depends on if the filibuster remains intact.

10 if it does, none if it doesn't.

2. If it's a Reconciliation package, none.

ACA was passed by Reconciliation.

3. None: we give them a week to suggest reasonable changes, if they refuse and filibuster

We nuke the filibuster and proceed to a vote.

PERIODT.

We accept some reasonable changes in good faith. That's it. The days of blocking shit just to block it are over.

4. I worry about Joe Manchin.

Is he onboard?

[Midnight Writer]

6. Exactly. The challenge here is to keep our own caucus on board.

5. If nothing moves forward

Have a wish list of the things covered under reconciliation and pass it.

In the interim, the Democrats against the filibuster need to know in no uncertain terms that there will be no help coming from the Republicans.

It's time to take the gloves off. The Republicans are re grouping, already objecting to the relief package and the impeachment trial, it only goes down hill from there.
