if Biden doesn't forcefully abolish the filibuster, aggressively fight to pass Green New Deal with 50 votes+codify Roe, gay rights, & contraception...

Ending the filibuster would be stupid. We would end up changing laws on important issues every few years. If an issue is really that important, get an amendment.

Our Constitution was built on the ideal of compromise to pass laws and run the government

With a filibuster, that is no longer possible.

It creates gridlock…..time to get rid of it
 
As long as the United States remains bitterly polarized it will be unwise to make major changes in the law that will be angrily opposed by nearly half of the electorate. Major changes should wait until their is a broad consensus about the kind of government we should have, and what it should be doing.

Good luck with that one
 
If one party has the White House, Senate and House, they should be able to pass the legislation they want

And when might that happen?

Oh I know...the 12th of Never.
 
he should be primaried and Buttigieg should rig the election to beat Biden in the primary and Trump in the general!

The only reason you like Buttplug is because he likes taking up the ass just like you! Why can't you admit it?

Laws the Democrats pass with paper thin majorities need to improve the lives of most Republicans in tangible, obvious ways, or they will not be sustainable. The New Deal was sustainable because it transformed unemployed whites into a stable working class of law abiding tax payers. The Great Society was not sustainable because it transformed low wage blacks into an unemployable underclass that supplements its welfare checks with the gains from criminal activities.

During the early 1960's white racial moderates had the right to expect that by supporting the civil rights legislation and the War on Poverty they were buying racial peace. What they got instead were five years of black ghetto riots and more enduring increases in black social pathology.

As an added insult, the Kerner Commission of 1968 blamed the black ghetto riots on white racism. In other words, the riots were not the fault of the blacks who were looting and burning stores. They were the fault of whites who obeyed the law and paid their taxes.

The failure of the civil rights legislation and the War on Poverty to improve average black behavior destroyed the New Deal coalition, and led to the polarization that makes it difficult for the U.S. government to solve problems that would have been manageable before 1964.
 
Neo-GOP's only talking point since Jan 21st 2021.

The war mongers that attached themselves to the Republicans are not attached to the Democrats. For years we were suckers following their mantras. So, follow Kristol, Will and others if you wish. I want no more wars. Endless spending and not even winning. And that what Ukraine is also. There is more going on than what we are told. We are nation that was young once. We matured and aged into what the rest of the world is. It has not hit home yet. And it must at this rate.

They blamed it (accurately) on white racism and over aggressive violent police response (sound familiar?)

NOT on "whites who obeyed the law and paid their taxes"

White racism means that they blamed it on white people. The Kerner Commission was released February 29, 1968. By then the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had been passed. The War on Poverty had been declared in 1964, and was beginning to spend billions of dollars on programs designed to help poor blacks. The most devastating riots were yet to come later in 1968. The Kerner Commission placed the blame for the black ghetto rioting everywhere but on the black criminals who were doing the rioting.

White racism does not cause black social pathology. Black social pathology causes white racism. If proximity to Negroes dispelled prejudice against them Southern whites would be the least prejudiced whites in the United States. No one should be surprised that a race that is accurately associated with low intelligence, crime, and illegitimacy arouses durable feelings of hostility, loathing, and contempt.

If there was anything of value in that link, explain it in your own words. If you cannot do that, you do not understand it.
