it is pretty simple. if democrats want to govern in any form, they have to nuke the filibuster. https://twitter.com/steventdennis/status/1352389419114885122

nuking the filibuster to pass trillions in aid for the country is honestly the single best circumstance in which to do it. pure political gold.

if sinema or manchin feel weird about it, just negotiate a provision where all aid sent to arizona and west virginia includes a letter with their faces plastered on it

honestly, manchin et al are more likely to get the bipartisanship they want without the filibuster. if legislation can’t be blocked as a matter of course, there’s an incentive to get a piece of the pie.

and if schumer allows more on the floor than mcconnell, you can imagine a situation in which senators actually try to put together majorities for bills they want, knowing that they won’t have to break a filibuster to pass it.
