End the Filibuster

Post by Icarus »

I submit that if the filibuster is not put to an end, the Democrats winning the Senate, House and Executive could very well be all for naught.

The question is, do they have the backbone to see it through?

Hopes of ending the filibuster are officially dead in the water. “F”.

This is emblematic of the dynamic between conservativism and progressivism. Conservatives win if nothing gets done. Progressives can't make any progress with the filibuster. This means when conservatives have the majority, they can deal with being filibustered because their objectives are to conserve the current status quo or stop current spending. Meanwhile when progressives have the majority, the filibuster prevents them from working towards their goals at all. The filibuster is inherently imbalanced.
