Watch How Republicans Eliminate The Filibuster When They Regain Control Of The Government.

[Rizen]

I'm calling it. In the same position as Democrats are now, Republicans will eliminate the filibuster to pass their agenda. Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin are naive fools and afraid to make power plays. Republicans aren't. It's costing us. Republicans are already rigging the voting system with voter suppression laws and because these two senators we're unable to do anything about it. Democrats will do much worse in the next two elections because they keep torpedoing our agenda. When will Democrats learn to take the kid gloves off?

1. Easy answer, NEVER

When have you ever seen Democrats "take the gloves off?"

[femmedem]

2. The vast majority of Democrats shouldn't be blamed for this.

Just Sinema and Manchin.

But I absolutely agree that the Republicans will eliminate the filibuster. The way they held up Supreme Court nominations or rushed them through, depending on who was doing the nominating, shows that they only care about minority party's rights when they are in the minority.

3. K&R, its VERY DISMISSIVE to intimate the GQP gives a shit about democracy any longer. They ...

... literally have the text book pathology for people who are going to start a civil war.

4. When?

I do not buy into the bullshit that the repugs will win back control.

5. And our two clowns will say what can you do?

8. I think they will say the time has come.

(Republican to the core)

6. One thing Republicans do with expertise is stick together in strength! They

will never give up the filibuster, because they need it when the Democratic party is in the majority. Unlike the Democratic party who have a hard time just getting a majority vote because of two MODERATE Dems, the Republicans push what they want right through.

7. dont call

them MODERATE dems they are not moderate. They are DINOS. CONSERVATIVE FAKES

9. They don't really need to...

Republican priorities, judges and tax cuts, are already carved out or available through budget reconciliation. They haven't had any other governing initiatives in 3 decades.

10. repugs would eliminate it. Any repug senators opposed would be ridiculed from the president on down

we should call it like it is. Manchin and sinoma are beholden to someone and it's not President Biden or the Democratic Party or Democracy. These imbeciles would protect the nonconstitutional filiburster at the expense of constitutional voting rights. They are bought by someone.

12. Calling Sinema and Manchin naive is a generous interpretation of their motives

I think they're both smart enough to know how they're helping Republicans sabotage democracy. In this case, calling them smart enough to know is not a kindness.

13. No they won't

not because they have anything relating to a principle, but because the filibuster benefits them and hurts us. They care about 3 things, appointing people (no filibuster), cutting taxes (no filibuster), and increasing defense spending (bipartisan so never filibustered).
