If Democrats refuse to get rid of the filibuster then Republican efforts to suppress and nullify votes will basically cancel our democracy and turn us into a full on autocratic state. #ForThePeopleAct #EndTheFilibusterNow

You seem like a nice person, but history and politics is not your strength.

Will force Democrats to compromise which is how the founders envisioned government working.

This is the woman who used a Ouija board for debate prep.

Weren't we supposed to push Biden left. With a stroke of a pen he could - give everyone Medicare - forgive all federally backed student debt - reschedule cannabis - enforce anti-trust legislation - order the mint to produce a quintillion dollar coin and shut the GOP up

I know it. You know it. We all realize it’s a danger. Do they? Are they listening!

Plus the GOP will do away with the filibuster the first time it gets in their way

Democrats are being outplayed by Republicans. The old rules of politics do not work in this new Trump-era. Dems need to wake up and start thinking of a new strategy because democracy is slipping away

Democrats used the filibuster over 300 times during the Trump presidency, but now you want to throw that away because you see some short term advantage? You're smarter than this.

Really? Allowing a 50-50 tie to shove their agenda down the throat of Americans with a tie breaker isn’t good for a country either. Democrats loved the filibuster when it was to their advantage.
