Politics Containment Topic 376: Pigs in Space

Board 8

I mean, the filibuster basically exists to stop progress.

Republicans can already get most of what they want through reconciliation (tax cuts, slashing the safety net) or it just isn't an obstacle to begin with (judges). It's Democratic policy and goals that it almost solely obstructs.

The idea of a legislature being paralyzed unless it can get a supermajority is insane and there's a reason no other country governs like this.
