Jeanne Shaheen already announced that she's not running for reelection...and she STILL voted for the CR. Not to mention that 4 of the other Dems are from the bluest of states.
The best argument I've heard against Dems filibustering the CR is that a filibuster would mean that they would - in the eyes of the public - take responsibility for the shutdown, and that the public would blame them for EVERYTHING wrong with the country now, including all of the Trump/Musk messes.
Which is insane to me. Allowing the CR to go through would cause much more direct harm, show that the Dems don't really care about opposing this insanity, and - if we're worried about PR - allow the GOP to blame future problems on Biden since they're marketing the CR as a continuation of Biden's budget when it's really nothing of the sort.
This is precisely the time to use the filibuster. If the GOP wants to remove it, let them. They'll own it, and if the Dems ever get back into power, it'll help them tremendously.
I mean, it's the logical consequence of their argument that abortion is murder. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone, and it's why Dobbs was so disturbing.
Unfortunately, most people just didn't give a damn.
If only there was someone who was running for President who was on a major party ticket and had an agenda that - for the most part - was supported by the majority of Americans.
The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle was a cheap cash-in thrown together with various outtakes, oddities, and such...and yet it's as punk as it gets. On a meta level, it brilliantly deconstructs the music industry, rock & roll itself, and a few other things as well.
It's not a story that ByteDance would tell you.
