January 6 changed a lot of us. Many of us reached the conclusion that you can’t work in good faith with Republicans who shrug when the mob comes. https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1380483972040380418
I like Manchin support the filibuster. But I don’t know how you look at January 6 and say, yes, I need to appease the people who enabled the mob. That doesn’t make sense. At all.
If Joe Manchin wants bipartisanship, he should propose bills that can get 10 GOP votes. Biden should make him “Senate Bipartisan Czar” and give him three months to negotiate and present findings.
Then, if he comes up with nothing...well, I guess the Dems can talk about blowing up the filibuster. I don’t like it, but strategically it’s an option. I mainly want Joe to put something on the table.
