How would the American public react and how would that affect polling numbers?
Say either Manchin and Sinema cave for whatever reason, or at least one or two Republican senators would leave early and replaced by appointees of a Democratic governor, and Democrats subsequently nuke the entire filibuster and just start passing Biden's entire agenda such as BBB, public healthcare option, HR1 and the John Lewis Voting Rights Act, gun control, an immigration bill according to "liberal's wishlist", tax reform, codify Roe into law and a climate bill.
Would polling numbers of Biden and vulnerable incumbents in congress seeking reelection increase? Or would Democratic/progressive excitement cancel out swing voters who feel the party "overreached"?
It's a pure hypothetical of course and not going to happen, but an interesting though experiment.
Of course I would rather have Democrats passing all this stuff and then suffer 2010 on steroids loss rather than just a smaller loss or somehow a neutral election without passing it.
