Building consensus and negotiating are dying political skills, but necessary for our democratic republic. The filibuster ensures that 51% can’t cram down decisions on the 49%.

Really the dumbest thing I've seen in months. The filibuster protects minority rights. It also tries to prevent the federal gov't from overlegislating, i.e., guaranteeing Americans greater liberty. Better to kill the idea that every problem should be fixed by gov't action.

The democrats have done a fine job in killing our democracy. For somebody so smart.......

1000% agree - it’s in the palm of our hands. Republicans will never participate in Biden’s revolutionary Presidency except to block.

Absolutely. @JoeBiden end the filibuster and pass #HR1

What democracy?

As long as the people do not rule directly, "representatives" will continue to represent those with the most money only. #DirectDemocracy #GiftEconomy

You are absolutely right!
