The purpose of the filibuster is to protect minority voices from the tyranny of the majority. Why would advocate for the tyranny of the majority?

you should spend some time trying to figure out why you never said a peep the 300 times Democrats used the fil-a-buster under Trump. Then realize your rank hypocrisy on the matter. When your principles are selective, they are not principles. It's closer to corruption ma'am.

The Democrats or two “democrats”? Just asking.

sorry but is it all the democrats or the two who really aren't democrats at all? shouldn't we work our butts off to get more justice democrats elected, not beholden to corporate bribery? should we really give up? I am a watcher from the sidelines in Canada but care a great deal.

Apt. Corp dems are walking us as fast to fascism as the opposition.

Democratic leadership has many levers to pressure them if desired, including removing or adding them to committees, amendments to bills that would help their states, giving or withholding party re-election funds, public statements targeting their constituents, etc. They want this

Do you typically have difficulty putting together an opinion without random insults that weaken your argument?

So why haven't they switched? Doing so would also be risky, including their re-elections would be in doubt. The President and Senate Democrats have a lot of power including not just threats, but amendments that would help their states. Presidents deal with this all the time.

Just the latest big fuck you. Government action is regular, big fuck yous, accompanied by gaslighting to convince us they didn't happen.
