Okay but now we need Senator Denim (WTF) & Senator Manchin to actually support Filibuster reform (even if it’s just for voting reform) because we know Republicans ain’t gonna do one thing to protect voting rights. I know I’m a big Sinema hater, but that’s just because of everything she does. Charlie’s podcast was great yesterday, but Sinema is the ENTIRE reason we are not overturning the Trump-era Tax cuts which increased the deficit by 1 Trillion. She finally got her fabulous ass plane back f…
Regular readers of your comments are well aware of Ms. Sinema's white whale status with you. If only there was one more Democratic Senator so we could ignore her antics. Are there any sickly Republican Senators from states with Democratic Governors that, you know God forbid, might die?
I live in Nebraska where we have a unicameral system. The only thing preventing extreme rightwing governance is the filibuster. I like the filibuster in principle in that it forces broad support for legislati…
I agree with all this, and also worry about not being able to use the Filibuster if the MAGA take over the Senate. But also, maybe Americans should live with the full effects of Democracy and if they elect shitty people, guess what… they get shitty legislation. I think they’d vote GOP out in droves and after GOP dares to legislate their agenda (something they rarely do). Republicans love the filibuster because they know their ideas are extremely unpopular and are going the way of the Dodo. They don’t actually have to legislate at all, with the exception of Tax cuts, which is all they want… oh and to confirm MAGA judges who do their legislating for them. Reforming the Filibuster is like Gerrymander reform, we should do it because it’s the right thing to do, even if it hurts us temporarily. But I believe the backlash would be quick and long-lasting if the GOP tried to legislate (Dems in Texas are FIRED UP rn). Also, if we don’t enact voting rights, MAGA Senators are here to stay. But I agree, temporarily ending the Filibuster to just protect voting rights is the only currently feasible option with Senators Manchin & Sinema.
