Beautiful He didn't get enough of his nominees filibustered if you ask me Now imagine a world where Democrats did this during Obama's tenure, meaning those 314 attempts to block Trump's actions wouldn't have been possible. Eliminating the filibuster is only sensible in a world where you're pretending the opposing party will never be in power again. Instead, I completely agree with other posters that say that you should actually force them to filibuster. I contend that the flaw with the filibuster is not that it exists, but that people cave merely at the threat of somebody doing it. Make them stand up and actually do it and its power is greatly diminished. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

No sense worrying about aggravating them. I'm not saying they should worry about aggravating them. I'm just saying that if they kill the filibuster they sure as hell better add two states that want to become states otherwise a slight political breeze will boot the Senate back into GOP hands. All it'd take would be the wrong Dem senator dying or being forced to resign and you've got yourself a GOP controlled Senate. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:949755538] in Mitch McCo...

For their own interests, they better push for D.C. and Puerto Rican statehood now to tip the senate balance likely permanently in their favor. If they keep it at 100 and kill the filibuster, they're just asking for one fuck up tossing the Senate back into the GOP's hands and having all the cards there. Well take the risk.

The problem with not planning ahead is that your supposed fixes can cause longterm damage. The GOP pushed dozens of federal judges through thanks to a lowered voting requirement passed by Dems previously to pass a handful of their's. The_Office_pwnz posted... Well take the risk. Look how scared you are. You cheaters brought this on yourself. Nice try, but I voted for Biden. And notice that I wasn't saying adding DC or PR would be bad, either. The Dems have a slim hold on congress and this is a reapportionment year that the GOP holds a lot of the cards at the state level. 2022 and 2024 aren't going to be anywhere close to layups for the Dems and might even be uphill battles. --- Irregardless, for all intensive purposes, I could care less. <cite>K181 posted [p:949759904] in Mitch McCo...
