I’d love to see a historian’s take on the process of reconciliation, and if the approach described here would work (search for the word “infrastructure” to jump to the relevant section in the article below):
If it’s true that Democrats could’ve ended these Senate roadblocks and pushed through legislation in the same way the GOP has been doing it since the George W. Bush years, leaders need to explain why they haven’t - after they change course and get it done. The answer better not be some performative unity crap. You don’t offer to join hands and sing “Kumbaya” with people who are trying to stab you, kill your family, and burn down your house for good measure.
