These two items failed only because two Democrat senators did not agree with the means to attain them. Either of these two senators could be coerced into changing their minds at any time. It will take only one to change their mind for the Dems to attain their goals.
That's a mighty slim margin for Republicans to hang their hopes on.
OMG! PANIC! HORRIBLE ALMOST IDEALIZATION OF DOOM! WE MIGHT BE SCREWED! MIGHT BE GAME OVER, MAN! MIGHT BE GAME OVER!
Ok, Hudson, calm the hell down...
Seen any movement by the Democrats to do that?
Any reason to push the panic button?
Any reason to think that either senator who was adamantly opposed to either measure has changed his/her position on either matter when the states that they represent are trending harder and harder Republican, making them vulnerable in coming elections?
Even if one or both were to have a come to Jeebus experience on the filibuster and give the Democrats what, 6 months of filibusterless leverage, think the Republicans, on retaking the Senate, which they appear poised to do in November, would let that stand?
Oh, I forgot, in November it will be House Democrats 435, Republicans 0, Senate Democrats 100, Senate Republicans 0, and so forth and so on because of the massive Democratic rewriting of blah blah blah blah whatever howler monkey of doom scenario came to someone in their fever dreams.
OK.
And level with me, why are you all panicking about this stuff when PUTIN COULD NUKE US BACK INTO THE STONE AGE TOMORROW AND INVADE ON FRIDAY?
HOLY HELL, MAN! HOLY HELL!
(I know that's supposed to be an angel, but it looks more to me like a panic monkey with a pancake on its head...)
