Democrats want to totally silence Republicans by ending the filibuster in the Senate. They want all the power with none going to the minority.
The push is on. If they do push this through, they will have free rein to do anything they desire. Since the Democrat Party is controlled by communists, fascists, and socialists, people should be deeply concerned.
Watch Warren propagandize eliminating the voice of the minority so she can do whatever she wants:
Understand this: The filibuster gives veto power to Mitch McConnell. And to the gun industry. And to the oil industry. For generations, racist senators used the filibuster to block anti-lynching laws and civil rights bills. It’s still blocking progress today. It’s got to go. pic.twitter.com/9JreV5i029

Imagine what this airhead AOC will do without any controls placed on her:
Preserving the filibuster is not worth letting millions of people in this country go hungry, sleep in their cars, or struggle to afford baby formula.

Lee, another socialist and a Castro lover, wants all the power:
I’ll say it again: abolish the Jim Crow filibuster.

Marxist Robert Reich is using white supremacy propaganda to push for total control:
The filibuster is a tool of white supremacy.
In the 19th century, it was used to protect the pro-slavery Senate minority.
The current filibuster was popularized during Jim Crow by Southern senators seeking to block civil rights legislation.
It must be abolished.

Guy Benson responded to Reich:
Way back in 2020, Senate Democrats used the filibuster to kill a Black Senator’s police reform legislation. https://t.co/kCP6djdjte

Stephen Miller did too:
Democrats used that racist tool of Jim Crow to filibuster Senator Tim Scott’s police reform bill. Thank you for admitting your racism, Robert. https://t.co/rSth3C8oTf

Radical Ed Markey is pushing for it:
Abolish the filibuster and raise the minimum wage.

Communist Jayapal wants it to end:
Abolish the filibuster. We can’t let a handful of right-wing senators obstruct a necessary, urgent, and POPULAR agenda.

Hard-left Padilla wants it to end:
People are suffering and struggling to feed their families. Paying a living wage is more important than any antiquated Senate traditions. We must END THE FILIBUSTER NOW. https://t.co/NSgPu7B5ug

THE LIST IS ENDLESS. WE DON’T NEED TO GO ON.

The majority and minority leaders in the House and the Senate already have too much power (by way of punishing non-compliance) in determining how the rest of their members vote. Rather than vote according to what their own constituents want, members are threatened with self-inflicted political suicide if they vote opposite from what their leader wants. This is why we have so many partisan votes on issues that would otherwise result in bi-partisan support as most should.
Abolishing the filibuster would relieve the majority party in the Senate of ever having to compromise or seek support from the minority party. Those that favor it are merely striving to change our constitutional republic into a pure democracy…otherwise known as mob rule.
Their next goal might be to remove the requirements in Article V of the Constitution for two thirds of both Houses or the legislatures of two thirds of the states being required to call a Convention for proposing Amendments….and do away with the requirement for ratification of proposed amendments by three quarters of the states.
Fortunately, any changes to Article V would require a ratified amendment which would be subject to the provisions in Article V.
However, the Democrat Party is well practiced in ignoring the constitution so they really have little need of amending it.
Meanwhile Harry Reid is pushing hard against some rogue exercise equipment.
A comrade rings a bell before it gets too rough.
We’ll have to pass it to see what’s in it for the good of the unity.
End the “filibuster” doesn’t “end” the filibuster. It only ends the faux filibuster. Senators can still filibuster in “real time”. Of course it may be difficult with such aging individuals who can barely read the scripts provided by staff.
We saw what happened when Democrats did away with the Filibuster for Judges; they lost the Supreme Court.
