I guess the false hope of having some agency is better than the realist assessment that if a whole lot of things go our way, we are fucked.

I never said anything about the filibuster. Also, I have acknowledged that getting Manchin and Sinema to vote in favor of the budget reconciliation with immigration is a different challenge. What I am saying is that it’s ok to hold Democrats accountable if they are evidently pretending like the parliamentarian is an obstacle here. The parliamentarian isn’t. That’s not helping me. That’s playing us for fools.
