Guest Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I’m glad more people are learning about the parliamentary rules available to the Dems that Chuck has refused to utilize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Gotta love that the Senate is like a poorly designed boardgame where any player can just grind shit to a halt at a whim whenever they want and the only reason it doesn't happen is norms.

The fucking thing runs on unanimous consent! How goddamn broken is that?!? Glad Chuck is finally finding out that he's extremely vulnerable as a NY senator and is using that to not suck...but too little too late. Shame I can't vote against him!

Joe Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 So in contrast, how many times did McConnell do this as minority leader? If the answer is often, then yeah Chuck sucks. If the answer is never, then we should be happy that Chuck is being super feisty, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Schumer could have called a vote on Obama judges and didn’t, no. He’s a waste of a seat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 Aoc could knock out gillibrand very easily. Chuck, the minority leader with backing from wall street, would be a stretch even for her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b_m_b_m_b_m Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 The other factor is the unknown after inauguration and work in the Senate. A good solid two years can paper over a lackluster previous 6+ If Chuck isn't willing to go to the mat for a president Biden and push some real legislative victories despite the majority, I can see blood in the water.
