One thing Dems can do now - fire the Parliamentarian. [View all] TomDaisy Nov 2021 OP
How will that get Manchin and Sinema to vote yes? AZSkiffyGeek Nov 2021 #1
it's optics and optics are important TomDaisy Nov 2021 #3
What are the optics of firing an official the average voter knows nothing about? brooklynite Nov 2021 #22
It won't by itself qazplm135 Nov 2021 #16
Yes! WA-03 Democrat Nov 2021 #2
Manchin will likely bolt the party, perhaps Sinema too, if we do that. Celerity Nov 2021 #4
and be nobodies in the GOP who will salivate to primary them? themaguffin Nov 2021 #7
they could go full indy and play the 2 parties against each other, perhaps get Murkowski and Celerity Nov 2021 #12

They wouldn't pull it off. themaguffin Nov 2021 #23

LOL Edit (the Chaplain part was funny) awesomerwb1 Nov 2021 #6
Yeah, it's a shame. It may well allow democracy to be destroyed here. HUAJIAO Nov 2021 #9
okay Grasswire2 Nov 2021 #14
You acknowledge that won't change anything onenote Nov 2021 #8
THIS! So much THIS! NewDayOranges Nov 2021 #10
exactly --- AND optics matter TomDaisy Nov 2021 #11
OPTICS MATTER. Grasswire2 Nov 2021 #15
Fire the parliamentarian for doing her job? Brilliant idea! tritsofme Nov 2021 #20
Fine. Just ignore her awesomerwb1 Nov 2021 #24
If we had the votes, that would be an option. tritsofme Nov 2021 #28
Sounds like something the previous guy would do madville Nov 2021 #25
That's like trying to fire the umpire in the 9th inning SCantiGOP Nov 2021 #27
