Go right ahead get rid of the filibuster it's an awesome idea

[hadit]

We don’t need a filibuster

What we need is moderates like Collins and Murkowsky on the right and Manchin and Sinema on the left

What??? You're advocating a return to the middle?

What??? You're advocating a return to the middle?

I have always advocated more power to the middle
Today they are being driven from both parties and trivialized.

I would like to see a bipartisan moderate caucus that could make sure nothing gets done without their buy in

Collins, Murkowsky the Polack, and other spineless sellouts don't belong in the GOP.

Nope, moderates have no principles and are unwilling to stand up to the enemy, which are Progressives.

Be careful what you wish for
Better to have someone who supports your agenda 75 percent of the time than a Democrat who supports your agenda 0 percent of the time

Moderates are pragmatic and willing to compromise.
What we need in politics today

I think I would prefer multiple parties that have to be convinced so a coalition has to be formed to move legislation, not just two parties under the powerful thumbs of two egotistical politicians.

Parties used to be more diverse

You had liberal Republicans and Conservative Democrats
Now, they demand party purity and complete loyalty

And that's a big problem. Compromise=surrendering your principles to the enemy. Politics should be about destroying the enemy. the way I, as well as every other REAL American sees it, the Left is the enemy and needs to be destroyed.

The Checks are a House, a Senate and a Presidential approval

60 is that checkmate in the Senate.

60 means nothing gets done
Even in a crisis

Don’t trust Collins. She’s a vote counter. A repo from a liberal state, she walks a thin like Manchin only from the other direction. If he vote doesn’t count, she’ll vote with the Dems. If it will actullay be the deciding vote, she’s repo all the way. Just look at her history. Shes conservative all the way.

did you say that when the dems were in the minority?

If you have a point to make, put on your big girl panties and make it.

Then you should vote for the people trying to take dark money out of elections.

No, the real problem is that people like you view over half of their fellow US citizens as the enemy. If not for people like you, then the senators would not be pandering to your intransigence and stupidity, and the Senate would function.

 

[Dagosa]

That is why Dems have to pass as much legislation as they can. It may be decades before they have another opportunity

Exactly.…..

Sorry...not in the Constitution.

In fact the filibuster is nothing but a motion to end debate and have a vote which the majority wins (with 51 votes)

It extends debate (which doesn't actually occur) indefinitely.

It's a farce

Laws need to be hard to pass. We have enoughbof them already.
