Topic | Biden privately tells governors: Minimum wage hike likely isn't happening |
Antifar 02/19/21 3:56:03 PM #166 | COVxy posted... But maybe it being around for over a decade and having their constituency heavily depend on it had something to do with that?Why did it stay around? Not because of the filibuster. No instead the filibuster meant Democrats needed Joe Lieberman and Max Baucus' votes, resulting in the public option being taken out of the bill. I am not convinced that legislation rarely passing in the first place is preferable to a party that wins the presidency, house, and senate being able to implement its agenda. The quagmire created by the filibuster just contributes to the growing sense many have that nothing can get done through congress, which Republicans are just fine with. --- kin to all that throbs |

Antifar 02/19/21 3:16:31 PM #148 | Fam_Fam posted... they'd be able to implement lots and lots of horrible policies for lots of people. Wanting the majority party to be able to have free reign over all policy sounds like when you're in charge. it is very, very bad when the other side is in charge. people are too short-sighted to see that though.None of our 50 state governments have a supermajority requirement for regular legislation, nor do any other major countries. The senate itself didn't until like 25 years ago! All the filibuster accomplishes is making our federal government sclerotic, unable to pass any legislation on climate change, gun control, or minimum wage, at a time when the public overwhelmingly wants action on these issues. Republicans are entirely comfortable with that status quo; Democrats shouldn't be. --- kin to all that throbs |
