If Republicans were in charge and they were in this situation, they absolutely would get rid of the filibuster and pack the court. One party seems intent on undermining our democracy, and the other seems unwilling or unable to stop them.

If Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema were Republicans ... they would have already lost their Committee Positions ... and they would be Primaried the next time they run for office!

All of US history refutes this point. This is a desperate cope to justify your own impulse for tyranny

Both parties love the filibuster because it gives them an out to passing the legislation they ran on when they have a clear majority and no excuse.

And liberals keep trying to convince ppl that dems are concerned with “democracy” because they’re making money continuing the “conversations” instead of just stating the facts and using their voices for the ppl. Milk and cookies ain’t helping

Democrats' "helplessness" is a feature of the party... not a flaw.

Neither party supports democracy - they both support capitalism which is anti-democratic. Democrats rigged two primaries to defend corporate profits

Be sure McConnell would us the filibuster on his favor.....wait, I think he has, and he would be successful packing the courts......wait.......he already did. Never mind. The Democrats in La La Land, happy as ever.
