I will never understand why Democrats preserve the filibuster. When Repugnicams are in power, any tool that Democrats could use to hold them in check gets scrapped. Why do Dems keep trying to play fair?
Because then they can say "we tried, sooooooorrry", and then go on fundraising trips.
Touché
Yeah but they won't make it a speaking filibuster...smh
They are also rich piles of trash more interested in money than fixing the government.
Really? Because it seems like they were ones trying to rein in corruption and set some fucking boundaries but the Republicans once again did what they do.
How is the BOTH SIDES ARE THE SAME?
Seriously, no one believes that anymore, and if you spout that shit you either have an agenda or you're not paying any attention at all.
I never said anything about both sides being the same. Why do you assume that? Pathetic.
Because you said "THEY ARE ALSO"
If you didn't mean that democrats are also only interested in making money then I apologize for misinterpreting what you meant
Otherwise.....
Also,. your use of pathetic is so lame as to be considered cringe worthy or..... Pathetic. 😘
No. The Dems used the filibuster even more during the Trump presidency than the GOP has during Biden's presidency. Sure the filibuster is abused and needs some changes but it's saved all our asses plenty of times.
Oh OK, so bad things are good when we're doing it.
Patisan hack.
A tool isn't good or bad. It is how it is used. If the filibuster is used to block bad legislation, it is a good thing.
I remember being in 9th grade. Make sure you study and do your homework.
I'm sorry you're blind to corruption and greed. At least you must be happy with all that ignorance.
I'm not blind to it. I've just been around long enough to understand it's not all black and white.
It's not all black and white. The problem is you fools think grey is white.
Stay in school kiddo. You need it.
Your obstinance proves nothing. Keep thinking grey is white while the world slips to shit. You are beyond pathetic for repeatedly failing to understand what I meant.
