Progressive Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) announced Wednesday that there are currently enough votes in the Senate to suspend the filibuster to codify Roe v. Wade and abortion rights if Democrats win control of the House and keep the Senate and White House.
“We will suspend the filibuster. We have the votes for that on Roe v. Wade,” Warren said on ABC’s “The View.”
She said if Democrats control the White House and both chambers of Congress in 2025, “the first vote Democrats will take in the Senate, the first substantive vote, will be to make Roe v. Wade law of the land again in America.”
Democrats are always dangling a carrot 🥕 which is always just out of reach. I’ve been listening to Chuck Schumer say “soon” on marijuana legalization for 4 years.
This guy has the correct take on our “2 pArtY sYsTeM” in my opinion

How do you propose house and senate democrats should have legalized marijuana over the past 4 years? Fucking magic?
I’m saying Mr. Schumer has lied and said “soon” over two dozen times in the last 4 years. Ask Chuck, why don’t you?
If anyone else heard him parrot that repeatedly as you claim, maybe it would be worth an ask.

This article isn’t about legalizing marijuana, but rather allowing federal banking for weed sales amongst other things. The bill in question doesn’t address marijuana legalization. The only other article you linked was from over 3 years ago. So you posted two articles, about how Schumer keeps saying ‘soon’ like it’s something that happens frequently, and one isn’t even about legalization at all.
More importantly than that though, is Schumer is the senate majority leader, which means even if he puts that up for a vote, and even if there was enough support, it means fuck all because the house hasn’t and won’t pass it.
He’s been saying “soon” since 2021 at least. The article from 2021 supports this precisely, using his own words, which is exactly why I linked it.
I follow a marijuana subreddit where his nickname is Chuck ‘Sooner’ because of his empty promises since 2020.
I understand your larger logic points about passing legislation. My point, however, is using the word “soon” to string along a faction of voters, dangling the carrot.
I don’t believe any support I offer will matter to one who argues disingenuously, however.
You provided two examples. One wasn’t relevant to your point, and the other was a single example from 3 years ago.
As mentioned, he’s in the Senate, so anything he tries to pass without the house means nothing. It’s not disingenuous arguing, you’ve just provided shit examples.
It’s neat that you are part of an echo chamber that has a cute nickname for Chuck though.
Great.
Earth to Bassturd— my point is they are his words and his empty promises.
