The Senate is Making a Mockery of itself

The Senate is where Joe Biden's agenda will live or die. More specifically, the intricacies of archaic Senate rules -- the budget reconciliation process, the filibuster, the majority leader's ability to control the floor--combined with the fealty today's senators have to yesterday's structures will decide the agenda of fate. it would be the greatest mistake for progressive, or anyone else to consider the fight over how the Senate works to be sideshow compared with debates over $15 minimum wage, and a Green new deal or Democracy reform.
