Biden has said it very straightforwardly, he’s got to work with each and every D Senator to find the right way forward for his legislation. He knows the ropes and how to push, persuade, demure and arm twist; all of which is happening right now. 2022 could be a strong win for the Democrats, and the United States, if the pieces fall into place.

Of course this is what we all hope. I agree Biden is pretty good at pushing, persuading, etc., but arm-twisting requires leverage, and I'm not sure he has much. I guess we'll know soon enough.
It couldn't any simpler. The idea of 10 Rs standing up and voting for the voting rights bill would be like putting a target on their backs. Keep in mind, these people are craven invertebrates. Aint gonna happen, no way, no how. Only thing left is canning the filibuster...that's it. Biden needs to be very clear with the intransigent Senator duo. If the filibuster remains in place the curtain will come down on on the Democratic party (likely for a very long time) ....and our democracy. As the person said above....it will be GAME OVER. The dems might as well then "hand in their badges", because future legislative actions will become nothing but a solidification of a corrupt, oligarchical and fascist autocracy.

And yet…that in itself is a danger to democracy in the long run…
