Should we really be worried about DEMs? They always seem angry but everything they do is choreographed.

I think it is now or never for the gop. I also know they never will do it. Those in Congress realize that the grift will end for both sides if this happens.

Neither party will change the rule to a simple majority to override the filibuster because they both know when the tables are turned they are 100% screwed. The filibuster helps both parties reach somewhat of a compromise agreement.

I’m not a fan of nuking the filibuster, the left will abuse the hell out of it if in power. DC nd Puerto Rico would quickly become states

Yep. Do we nuke it now or continue to descend further into Marxism? The nuke would prevent Americans having to eventually fight off the government themselves.

No way. It’s the only safeguard against mob rule.

Let the mob try to take over. We have the 2nd Amendment.

It has stopped Congress from getting any sort of shite done for decades. It also means when something does get done and it's a mistake, it's nearly impossible to get rid of it. The structure of the senate itself is plenty to let both parties have a say. The filibuster just means Congress doesn't do shite but fundraise to get reelected to continue not doing shite.

This is at least the second of third time you have referenced it in a couple of your posts as a means to justify results and you clearly don't understand it. You are a retarded bot or a dumbass from Reddit . Maybe they are the same thing. The 2nd Amendment is for protection. Not taking over.

The filibuster is unconstitutional.

They are going to eliminate it anyway the second they have the votes. They were close under Biden.

You sure about that? If you have a mob try to take over, the 2nd Amendment is to protect yourself from the mob. That’s what I was advocating for.

Nuking the filibuster could prevent the government overreach— prevent the government from ever trying to take our right to bear arms.

So you're actually retarded. If the filibuster is ever broken and Dems take over, that's exactly what will happen. It's there for a reason. If it is gone, we will become Europe. frick the UN and WEF.

Can we nuke it for voter ID and then reimplement it?

I’m not so sure about that next time Democrats control the Senate. Every time a barrier like this gets crushed democrats set the precedent. I believe it will happen soon but not with GOP in charge.
