You think anyone who disagrees with you is sociopathic but I disagreeStop running and pledging blind fealty to orange, sociopathic buffoons,
Two lies.You think anyone who disagrees with you is sociopathic but I disagreeStop running and pledging blind fealty to orange, sociopathic buffoons,
you are the one who is emotionally basing your vote on personality rather than reason
And when the Left loses its majority? I seriously believe that Schumer and Pelosi are positioning the Ds to consolidate power through HR1 to the point where elections simply will never be trusted again. I tend to be a smartass but in this situation, we ALL need to step back and really ponder the effects of one party creating a situation in our electoral system that, right or wrong, is perceived as illegitimate.I don't either, however I fear it's the only way to get anything past the self proclaimed "grim reaper of legislation".I don’t think killing the filibuster is a great idea.
It's not nthe Democrats who a pushing for elections not to be trusted.I seriously believe that Schumer and Pelosi are positioning the Ds to consolidate power through HR1 to the point where elections simply will never be trusted again.
Federalist 22 has nothing to do with the filibuster....it is talking about the failures of the Articles of Confederation....and trying to encourage people to drop it, and adopt the US Constitution. His argument is how weak the Confederation was set up...because no states came to vote...As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 22, the idea that a supermajority encouraged cooperation had proven deceptive: “What at first sight may seem a remedy, is, in reality, a poison.” Rather than encourage cooperation, he prophesied, the effect of requiring “more than a majority” would be “to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice or artifices” of a minority to the “regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority.”

Democrats must kill the filibuster and make the Senate great again.www.nytimes.com
Fixing the Supreme Court is the only thing as important.
And what did the fuckin DEMS to to Trump? Or BUSH ,for that matter?You underestimate the Republicans simply because unlike Schumer and Pelosi, they're not attention whores. They're servants to their constituents, and true to their oaths of office that find them obedient to the United States Constitution and concerned about the well-being of the people in their States as well as fairness to all citizens who support this republic. Now, if they'd institute some comfort to the National Guard rather than putting them to outdoor weather on concrete floors in the harsh January weather, I'd sleep better. Maybe it's the job of another government branch, but they could send a pillow, mat and blanket to the Guards from their own states. Imho.I don’t think killing the filibuster is a great idea.
I don't either. But McConnell has already laid down the gauntlet and he isn't going to budge...unless Democrats grow a spine and rip that minority veto power from him.
We'll see if they have the backbone to do so. It may be the only way to get things done. Republicans have no idea what they stand for. They have no leadership. No one
who espouses any vision as far as policy. They supported questioning the results of the election and a large number of them supported an insurrection two weeks ago.
All they have is sallow faced turtle in the Senate who is desperately clinging to the last sliver of power he has, hoping he can stall long enough to flip things back to
his side in two years.
Republicans haven't been servants to their constituents since the day Barack Obama was elected and McConnell vowed to make him "a one term President". And sitting at the top of that pile is McConnell who is just interested in power. Not actual legislation. As has been pointed out, the filibuster was never meant for bills to be filed in the majority leaders desk, never to be discussed. The only way to move things forward again may be to call McConnell's bluff.
Dems don't really VOTE. They just COUNT and count and count and.........It's not nthe Democrats who a pushing for elections not to be trusted.I seriously believe that Schumer and Pelosi are positioning the Ds to consolidate power through HR1 to the point where elections simply will never be trusted again.

The left has used the filibuster numerous times in the past, to their advantage. So, I fail to see a problem with it.As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 22, the idea that a supermajority encouraged cooperation had proven deceptive: “What at first sight may seem a remedy, is, in reality, a poison.” Rather than encourage cooperation, he prophesied, the effect of requiring “more than a majority” would be “to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice or artifices” of a minority to the “regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority.”

As I recall, Alexander Hamilton was against the Bill of Rights...our freedoms afforded by the government. He also advocated forcibly taking Spanish and French territories in North America.As Alexander Hamilton wrote in Federalist 22, the idea that a supermajority encouraged cooperation had proven deceptive: “What at first sight may seem a remedy, is, in reality, a poison.” Rather than encourage cooperation, he prophesied, the effect of requiring “more than a majority” would be “to embarrass the administration, to destroy the energy of the government, and to substitute the pleasure, caprice or artifices” of a minority to the “regular deliberations and decisions of a respectable majority.”
