If they're able, whatever they can do to advance their agenda, they're gonna do it.
That's the lesson here.
And for us to sort of impotently sit back and say, no, you shouldn't, that's not fair.
It's totally pointless, they're going to.
Our message instead should be,
To the Republicans, hey, this is what the Democrats do when they have power.
You have power right now.
We still control Congress and the White House.
You have power right now.
So go and use our power to advance our agenda, which, like I said, leads me to the opposite conclusion.
This is why I want to kill the filibuster.
I mean, the SAVE Act has not passed.
It's not going to pass.
This is one of the most important things we could do to protect our elections going forward.
And if we're not going to kill the filibuster and then we're told that, well, we can only advance our agenda if we have a filibuster-proof majority, that's never going to happen ever.
That's just not ever, ever going to happen.
And so what that would mean is that we're never actually going to advance our agenda in any serious way.
I mean, we know the Democrats already are going to do everything they possibly can when they have power to advance their agenda.
So they don't need...
They don't need the pretense or the excuse that we offer them by being aggressive ourselves.
