The Founders debated the filibuster and decided against it for good reason. It isn’t foundational to the way the Senate operates; it’s a relic of the Jim Crow era. You can’t keep asking people to vote for you if all you do is give them excuses every damn time. @TheDemocrats

We should increase the size of the house as well, that would fix the electoral college giving small states too big of a say with their 3 vote minimum.

We need a second party.

Yes ... The party that wins the election should be allowed to govern ... and if they screw it up ... throw them out ... and put someone else in!

Unless Trump fear is involved. Or whoever the Democrats fear next time.

There's nothing short of universal healthcare that would ever get me to vote for a Democrat again. I'm partyless. Fuck the Democrats & Republicans. Fuck the Squad. Fuck Bernie and his good fascist friend.

Two right-wing parties that only serve their donor class nothing gets done even when voters did everything they asked for.

Here’s what the Democrats won’t tell you: They want the filibuster. They love the filibuster. And they are never getting rid of the filibuster. Here’s what they will tell you: “If you give us more Democrats in the Senate, we can end the filibuster!”
