Why was this strategy abandoned?

1. See, the GOP would filibuster health care |
|
the Dem's would never stand up and filibuster anything. They won't even force the GOP to stand up and fight. We just fold..
The are the party of fold..

2. because coporate Dems don't want HC reform |

3. I think we should make them fillibuster EVERYTHING, |
|
not just 'threaten' to fillibuster.
Otherwise Harry Reid is basically letting Mitch McConnel run the Senate with 40 votes.
That said, reconciliation seems to be the way to go here because we would NOT have 60 votes to break a fillibuster due to corporate sellouts within our own party.

4. ??? "Make them"? It sounds like they would do it by themselves. All |
|
republicans are against it - why would they not filibuster?
