Brian's idea here is a voting tax credit. Maybe it would work, maybe not.
Regardless of whether it does, the key is CREATIVE THINKING. When the plane's in a death spiral, don't sit placidly at the controls and try to fly normally. Try Plan A, try Plan B, try Plan C.

Obviously the best path for Democrats worried about democracy would be normal legislation like HR1. But if that's not going to work, if they're stuck using reconciliation, that doesn't make the crisis go away! Failure is no excuse to pretend the problem doesn't exist.
Sometimes you get the sense that some Democrats rather enjoy having major reforms blocked, because it allows them to mentally revert back to a much happier world where the crises they were trying to solve simply don't exist and they can busy themselves with tax policy or whatever
But of course out here in the real world, a crisis in which the simplest solutions are nonviable is simply a crisis that's even worse than you thought - one that needs MORE attention than before, not less
