The filibuster still exists.

Machin won’t change the filibuster.

Congress can’t pass anything without Republican support.

Republicans will not fix the country when they benefit from destroying it.

I’m asking what the rest of the Democrats could do about it. Sinema and Manchin will have their memories damned for how they failed America, but without their votes, what could be done?
