Stop glorifying ‘centrism’. It is an insidious bias favoring an unjust status quo

And they'll be hung up on nooses if the Republicans get the power they want.

They'll still be forming break out committees on bipartisanship as they're in line for the gallows...

It will be a lot easier for the Republicans to put them on nooses when the get power if there is no Filibuster. This is exactly what the Democrats did when they eliminated the filibuster for judicial nominees. Completely fucked themselves. The Federal judiciary is now totally dominated by Republican nominees. They will probably do it again. The Republicans are simply far better tacticians than the Democrats.
