(150,433 posts)We have two opportunities, one in 2022 and another in 2024. I know of no experts who are able to make predictions about those two election with any real accuracy. Furthermore, events and election efforts will affect both.
At the present time, the votes are not there to end the filibuster. That is clear. My two Senators would vote to do so. Those are the only ones I have even a possibility of influencing.
The Senate, as a legislative body has such a rule. Only that body can change it, short of a constitutional amendment. So, there it stands. I don't like it either. I can do nothing to change it.
So, I must rely on elections and try to influence them. If you have another path, please share it. If not, then I ask you to join me in trying to gain seats in the Senate.
