Democrats will win the GA runoffs Off the back of that, stimulus and other popular liberal policies will be enacted. And they'll be successful and well-liked.

Nothing better than a guy who openly hates that money grubbing race of people. Looking forward to cleansing and sending the undesired to camps to rinse from their evil thoughts.

    I’d like to know what exactly I’m “flamewar-style” comments on? Parent commented on the “liberal GA candidates” one of whom is a known anti-Semite and literally beat/assaulted women, and that they “would be well liked”. Other comments posts I’ve made have questioned the extreme views commonly held by those in this site, where events like CHOP/CHAZ in Seattle became well favored and liked. Yet obviously, no one then comments on the 2 or 3 black underage teens killed or the women raped/sexually attacked. Better yet, most people here would still agree with Seattle’s mayor’s comment “it’s the summer of love”. Perhaps we should fight against those comments and posts?

      Snark and provocation on divisive topics equals flamewar. These are the sorts of comments that don't belong on HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25254922 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25254922 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25255196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25255196 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25097468 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25097468 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25097867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25097867 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24270544 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24270544 Too ideologically generic and predictable, not enough information. A lot of your other comments are good though! I probably shouldn't said "repeatedly" above—it's technically true, but I normally only say that when it's more obviously true.

I want to believe, however I think Joe Manchin will stand in the way. I also think Joe Biden won't do anything to stop the filibuster.

  Biden has nothing to do with the filibuster tho

    Huh? He has everything to do with the filibuster. He will work with Democratic senators to set their agenda during his term, and part of that is decisions regarding whether to keep the filibuster or whether to push to end it, or to work around it. He can express his will via the bully pulpit, and via communication & coordination with Senate Dems, the same way basically any president has been able to convey their agenda to the senate for as long as we've had presidents and senators. Obama and Harry Reid had this exact conversation over whether to continue using a filibuster, and Obama listed it in his autobiography as a regret that he didn't accept Reid's suggestion to nuke the filibuster.
