I agree.
To protect the filibuster is to be complicit.

you literally said nothing about the filibuster when Democrats used it 300 times under Trump. The more I see your tweets...
Replying to @marwilliamson
Well of course your crystals tell you that.
Replying to @marwilliamson
Yes but you won’t feel that way if the Republicans ever have the majority again.

We live in a "MAJORITY RULE" governmental system ... who ever wins an election should be able to pass the laws that they campaigned and got elected on ... and If they screw up ... they can be voted out of office at the next election!

The only purpose for ending the filibuster is to bring about the end of representative democracy. It serve only the tyrant and the brute who aspires to subjugate his fellow man.

To protect the system is to be complicit.

And yet... to "be complicit" is not to "be held accountable," nor is it even to be barred from "long-term material gain," by way of your "complicity."

Complicit is the wrong word. I believe the word you want is cahoots.

We diverge on this one. It protects the minority…though it has been used for political purposes.

Why the change? I believe our current White House resident spoke out rather strongly regarding it need to stay. I will grant that it was a time when his best interests were served for it to remain. —- Marianne - you have some good ideas; glad you got into the debates.
