They wanna get rid of the filibuster so they can pass stuff easier and it’s stuff we wouldn’t like. People just can’t see the bigger picture here.
I should clarify a few things: 1. Good or bad is subjective. 2. If a bill is stopped at the senate, by definition, it has not got the support of a huge majority and is disliked by a substantial minority. 3. Passage of controversial bills should not be easy to begin with. 4. If the bill has support of 60% of the senators it can be passed by enforcing cloture.
Democrats want illegal mail in votes because that's how they used them to win over Trump due to the pandemic.
I still don’t know what it is 🤷♂️
The filibuster is a consequence of the bipartisan system, that is the result of the "winner takes all" method of elections, something that is contrary to the intent of the Constitution. The way we elect presidents, the way we use the Electoral College (contrary to the way it was intended) and the way we elect representatives favors this to happen, Find ways to eliminate the 'winner takes all" and having more than two parties represented in Congress would eliminate the need for the filibuster and favor compromise.
“Bottom line is very simple: The ideologues in the Senate want to turn what the Founding Fathers called ‘the cooling saucer of democracy’ into the rubber stamp of dictatorship. We will not let them. They want, because they can’t get their way on every judge, to change the rules in mid-stream, to wash away 200 years of history. They want to make this country into a banana republic, where if you don’t get your way, you change the rules. Are we going to let them? It’ll be a doomsday for democracy if we do.”

Ending the Filibuster is a very dangerous move.

Was he lying or telling the truth in 2019?
We want to make sure all countries have our democracy.
Please fact check this video. Sen Strom Thurmond was a Democrat at the time of his record filibuster and he was trying to stop the passing of the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
The filibuster is the tool of cowards. It has always been a crutch used by both parties to avoid the responsibility of accountability and leadership. It's unconstitutional.
biden, if we can't win let's change the rules….

Ironic how many parliaments have pledged to tackle global-warming (sic) yet continue to create vast quantities of hot-air
Letter in 2017 urging the preservation of the Filibuster signed by Kamal Harris and 33 other Democratic Senators.: "We are writing to urge you to support our efforts to preserve existing rules, practices, and traditions as they pertain to the right of Members to engage in extended debate on legislation before the United States Senate. Senators have expressed a variety of opinions about the appropriateness of limiting debate when we are considering judicial and executive branch nominations. Regardless of our past disagreements on that issue, we are united in our determination to preserve the ability of Members to engage in extended debate when bills are on the Senate floor.”
Watch Tom Cotton on floor. He uses Chukies words about filibuster . It’s brilliant!
“It is the Senate where the Founding Fathers established a repository of checks and balances. It is not like the House of Representatives where the majority leader or the Speaker can snap his fingers and get what he wants. … On important issues, the Founding Fathers wanted—and they were correct in my judgment—that the slimmest majority should not always govern. … The Senate is not a majoritarian body. -Senator Schumer
The filibuster is what keeps one side from passing anything they want without resistance from the other. There I dumbed it down. They are trying to make it so anyone at all, citizen or not, can vote without ID. Absolutely insane. This is why they've let millions of immigrants pour into the country at the southern border.
biden said he would never do this and here we go – hypocrite not a democrat
Hey guys I think that dumb ass Kyle Kulinski said something about the Senate one time.
…..Filibuster isn't even in the Constitution….So why do we keep allowing Republicans to use it to hurt Democracy???
The fillibuster is proof of how worried the democrats are going into midterms. Their desperation is on full display.
Yes please do change the filibuster rule. The Republicans are projected to take back the house and senate by a huge margin in 2022. I can't wait to for the Democrats to cry when Republicans pass law after law. The last time the democrats changed the filibuster rule we ended up with a conservative suppreme court. What could go wrong.

Democrats tried to filibuster in 1964 to stop civil rights. Loo it up

Time to end the filibuster!!!

🇺🇸 SENATE IS 50/50! 🇺🇸 This is not the time to eliminate the filibuster; doing so would accelerate division and put us closer to civil war. It’s also 🇨🇳 HYPOCRITICAL for the Democrats: Biden 2005 said of Repubs potentially (they didn’t) nixing the filibuster: 'It upsets the constitutional design' and would 'eviscerate the Senate' His words. Schumer called nixing the filibuster “a power grab” and “abuse of power”
Biden nuke the hell out of the filibuster, because all the republicans want to do is hinder your agendas, McConnell said that what he was going to do, stop everything you try to get through.
It’s something that isn’t going away, no matter how the lying Democratic state media portray it.
