Such a perfect example of the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie in action. An unwritten “rule” that makes enacting change damn near impossible.

The fact that every state gets two senators regardless of size exacerbates this, but then again the house is closer to proportional and it’s not like they’re passing progressive legislation.

That never worked. The guy who famously got beaten near to death was an abolitionist, and the guys who beat him up were some Southern Honor psychos.

I’m pretty sure the fash would lift and the limp libs would curl up and cry for peace while getting kicked in the nads.

Its not like we have any swole commies in congress to crush fash between their thighs.

Replace the filibuster with trial by combat. A minority of 40 senators will be able to select a champion among themselves to a swordfight to the death against the majority’s champion.

It’s amazing to see people who were around when the Dems had 60 votes in 2009 act like that’s all we need to fix this situation. As though they would be incapable of finding a new obstacle once they had their votes.

The wildest thing is that the /r/neoliberal narrative is that he’s doing way too much and needs to do less to appease the ever-elusive moderates.

Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember… we’re all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
