Which is why we need more than 50 senators.

If the Democrats do win in a landslide and get to 51 or 52 Senators, and I hope they do, then the legislative agenda will still be set by someone like Doug Jones, Tester or Sinema, and will be limited to things which can be passed in a reconciliation bill. I love Warren’s proposals, but we have to face the reality that very little of it will become law. Now if I could herd 50 Democratic Senate cats into abolishing the filibuster, granting statehood to D.C., P.R., US Virgin Islands, Guam, American Samoa and the Marianas Islands and getting some shit done, I would.
