There is just no defending Dems in not overruling her if she says no. No excuse whatsoever. This one step anyway. Manchin and Sinema still need to be on board. If nothing happens, let it be because of those two—not because of the parliamentarian’s decision which can just be overruled. It’s legal to do so. If GOP doesn’t like it, fuck them. They do shit we don’t like all the time. Cry me a river GOP. Like I said, shit isn’t rocket science. It’s not a far fetched idea to argue that legalizing 8 million people at $1500 a pop will have a great fiscal impact.

^Exactly, I don't like Republican but I respect the length they go to get what their constituents want. R's win even when they are in the minority just by block everything D want to do. It would be nice to be on the winning team for once. D need to work together and grow a pair. If you can't do shit in the majority and can't block shit in the minority then it's kind of a useless party.
