Republican Resistance To Cooperation Leaves Democrats Few Options | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

Rachel Maddow explains that in order to overcome the filibuster, Democrats need ten Republicans to vote with them on any given piece of legislation, an extremely unlikely scenario given Mitch McConnell's unwillingness to allow Democrats any accomplishments, and leaving reconciliation as Democrats' only recourse.

Republican Resistance To Cooperation Leaves Democrats Few Options | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

[Chris]

Hey, as long as the big guy gets his 10%

[spudwickthrockmorton]

I think someone warned us about a house divided against itself

[taradrolma]

I don't think it is possible to cooperate with a group whose members are threatening violence against you.

[killerburrito]

It’s sad that our countries politicians can’t stand by “America First”.sad

[allnoyz]

Again, with the abusive - "Look what you're making me do" thing...
On and on...you really don't want unity - just control.

[richarddarlington]

Believe it or not, it's time to get serious about the 2022 mid-terms.
That's why Joe's and Kamala's first 100 days are so critical.

[rampagephoenix]

This it boys, this is war; Its time Democrats started playing some REAL hardball.
Its payback time, fellas!!!

[illinoishasenteredthechat]

We as Democrats need to come to the conclusion that the GOP will not support any bipartisanship. Let’s just get this bill signed already aye

[christopherstrom]

she forgets that last four years of"cooperation"

[DrachonaTheWolf]

A Democrat's idea of "cooperation": "Do what we want. Otherwise, you're being unreasonable."

[PeteHowlett]

I've been thinking about this and watching with hope - sadly no move from Republicans. I think it's time for the Democrats to play hardball.

[MrS]

Oh please, 30 executive orders so far, why even have a congress.

[ZeroFace]

“Republican resistance to cooperation” here we go again, same bs excuses why they never do anything for the ppl. Whoever is in power blamed the other side for “needlessly resisting” and vice versa. It’s all BS.

[thomasreddick]

Sounds like how the dems treated the republicans last summer or for that matter the last 4 years.

[teiermyler]

Literally this was you when Trump had any ideas so how does it feel

[kkapalle]

yes gives the Reps from now on a hard time, never give them a little chance to vote against, the Dems must play their majority

[Neimfeltrite]

Check which brokers blocked small investors from buying GameStop shares today and never do business with them again.

[HeyitzSnoop]

Just think if the Dems didn’t change the rules to require 60 votes they could pass things.

[bobbiedee]

How is this woman, still in journalism. Much less tv.

[mrvaulted]

The weird thing about a so called "even" senate ... out of 50 people there are seats on your own side, that will disagree or say no.
