Wasn't there a special maneuver that would allow
a bill passed in the House to be passed in the Senate by a simple majority vote?

1. That's what started the process last week

They still needed a cloture vote to end debate, rather than to start debate.
The Democracy Docket tweetstorm about it made it sound like they were doing an end-run around the cloture vote, but then said something along the lines of "they'll still be able to filibuster ending debate."
I did give them a chance to speak on it at least.

3. It provided a lot of false hope

And was misinterpreted by many. It was always going to require 60 votes for cloture to end debate, the maneuvering basically fast tracked it to the same eventual outcome.

7. We couldn't gather a

majority. 48 votes is the best we could do

10. Only the GOP is allowed to do special maneuvers.

As a public service to the primitives here is the complete episode list for the hit NBC TV series The West Wing, where the leftists always outsmarted the conservatives.  I'm sure the answer is in there somewhere--a special maneuver tried and tested in the world of male-believe.  Get cracking.

When you are the beneficiary of someone’s kindness and generosity, it produces a sense of gratitude and community.

When you are the beneficiary of a policy that steals from someone and gives it to you in return for your vote, it produces a sense of entitlement and dependency.

It's called Reconciliation and it's only allowed on budgetary bills. ObamaCare was able to sneak by with that trick, but it couldn't be justified with a voting laws bill.
