5. If only old chuckles shumer had required a speaking filibuster what more would be accomplished

Just imagine if Schumer had just gone to a speaking requirement for filibuster. What could the Biden and the Democrats accomplished?

I would think that a short list would have been

1. Making people pay into social security on earnings over $400 k which would permanently protect it (supported by the overwhelming majority of both parties).

2. Rational gun control laws

3. Renewal of the violence against women act

4. Codified roe v. Wade as the law of the land

5. Net neutrality

6. Extending and properly funding the ACA

7. Equal pay for equal work

I could go on. All of these would have helped a lot of people.

But because the OLD Senate leadership thought that protecting the racist legacy of the modified filibuster, the republican party and Putin were able were able to convince a lot of people that either the Republicans were better and vote for mango Mussolini or there are no real differences so just stay home.

Hats off to you Sen. Booker, I wish you were officially in charge of the Dems in the Senate.
