HR 1 becoming law?

[Lambsbread]

Can't the Democrats just wait out the filibuster?

I mean if the filibuster goes on for, let's say, one year then the people will definitely notice. And if they do notice, public support will likely shift to the bill and against the Republicans. Voting rights good, gerrymandering bad.

Also, it'd put Sinema and Manchin on the spot.

Whatever goes on, the Democrats better strongarm this through somehow if they want to stand a chance in the 2022 House election.

I don't want to live in a district that looks like a double helix in the future.

67% of the public already supports this bill:

67 PERCENT OF AMERICANS SUPPORT H.R.1 FOR THE PEOPLE ACT



Even a solid majority of Republicans support this bill (though not in Congress), interestingly enough.

And even if support was weaker, this bill is urgently needed and we can't afford to "wait it out" while the GOP decides what level of public pressure to stop being authoritarian goons will suffice. Now's the time to be aggressive.
