Why would you want Trump to get rid of the filibuster?
Why wouldn’t I? The filibuster is the only thing keeping Republicans from having to answer for their extremist views. I want them to be able to pass everything they want and then have to deal with the consequences. They’ve admitted over and over that the filibuster stops the fringe right from gaining power and lets the more “moderate” members pretend they don’t support the same things while still helping tear down the government. And the filibuster gives useless moderate Democrats an excuse to avoid taking real positions.

This is one of those things that sound good online but will cause real pain to the average American. This type of logic is why I wouldn’t label myself as a progressive

Encourage the Republicans to pass a modern enabling act to prove a point brehs

Average American already has pain, instead the pain isn't answered for because republicans can hide behind we can't do anything ( see healthcare bill)

Additionally the filibuster stops dems from doing things like national holidays for voting, extension or voting rights, expanding the supreme court etc. Yes I'd like to encourage republicans to have to take their mask off or choose a position

Example 1670763 of the people purportedly most on the side of the disenfranchised actively hoping for their pain because they’ll be insulated from it.

you mean the ones who can actually win seats for the Democratic party, in places that progressives cannot :mjlol:

Joe Manchin being exhibit A. he was the only thing standing between that seat and a hardcore MAGA republican. yet you're actually happy that a republican has that seat now, because of your bullshyt purity test

None of Biden’s agenda would have been passed if Manchin didn’t hold that seat

None of bidens agenda did pass. In fact if the filibuster didn't exist republicans would be a permanent unclass minority, they exist in their current state and win elections due to racist voter laws.

DC state hood
Pr state hood

I can name countless reasons why the filibuster should have been gone decades ago.

Manchin was also vote 51 on a supreme court justice and a bunch of federal judges. you lie shamelessly

these leftists are like small children when they don't get everything they wanted for christmas :mjlol:

This literally dont make sense lol. You dont have to spend money on safe seats that's why they're "safe"
that's the point

progressives are so weird and off-putting that by winning the primaries, they can change the seats from blue to purple :mjlol:
