minus-squareCethin@lemmy.ziplinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoThat’s not how the filibuster works. It only takes one person to do it. It’s take 60 to vote against it to stop it from being done by that one person. Even Schumer isn’t dumb enough to call the dems to vote against them doing their own thing.
