Re: the filibuster. It’s fashionable to say Dems decided they wanted to change the rules once they took back power. But that’s not totally true. Plenty of progressives were openly fine with McConnell doing it when Trump urged him to, figuring the early harm would be worth it. — PolitiTweet.org

@mattdizwhitlock yeah. i think that’s right. No electeds (at least that i can recall) were saying: yes, Mitch, please go blow up those rules. But plenty of outside folks—and not marginal figures—were fine with it. — PolitiTweet.org
