Re: POTUS 45.19: Being Douced by Irma makes me sad!!
Republicans, sorry, but I've been hearing about Repeal & Replace for 7 years, didn't happen! Even worse, the Senate Filibuster Rule will....
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
...never allow the Republicans to pass even great legislation. 8 Dems control - will rarely get 60 (vs. 51) votes. It is a Repub Death Wish!
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) September 8, 2017
Yep. Good vote 53% of white women. Good vote.
So, basically he wants the Filibuster destroyed. He figures if he ticks Turtle Boy off by siding with Democrats he'll do it. This isn't about keeping the government open or passing DACA. This is about getting Turtle Boy to make the Democrats squeal.**NOTE: The misleading post above was brought to you by Reynold's Wrap and American Steeples, makers of Crosses.

Also: once you get rid of the filibuster the Senate no longer serves any purpose. Since the Senate is inherently undemocratic this is one more step in the long journey towards making America a nation governed by its people rather than dirt and dollars.Cornell University

Originally posted by Kepler View PostWe've talked about this before but in the long run reducing all votes to simple majority would help the good guys. The GOP has effectively used cloture on spending bills as a ratchet to make it easier to achieve their priorities than ours. Nuking the filibuster would certainly increase volatility, but primarily on the liberal side. Conservatives are already able to devastate huge swathes of the population by simple majority. We would create balance by being able to help them by simple majority. And that threat would also rein in the more moderate GOPers from tagging along with the Freedumbers and other rightwing terrorists.

Don't worry -- the United States will always be a deeply undemocratic nation. Property will always be far more well protected than human life. That will never change.Last edited by Kepler; 09-08-2017, 09:40 AM.Cornell University

Our country is not a pure democracy, and it should not be ruled a such. Just because money has wound it's way into the halls of our government should not remove the rights of the minority- be it the individual citizen or the low population state.
I personally can't see how removing the filibuster fixes anything with regard to money and influence. Not at all. As a matter of fact, the way money can manipulate the opinion of the masses/mob, doing that suggests that getting rid of the filibuster makes that bad portion of our system even worse.
Sorry- the Senate is NOT purely democratic, and it's set up intentionally to be that way. That's the entire point. It evens out the speech of the small groups to the speech of the majority. Which is a good thing.
