Go on, centrists. Why was there no filibuster this time?
Rescission packages aren't subject to the filibuster, only a simple majority is needed. Expect more of this.
You can filibuster anything if you have the will. The Democrats just don't have any care to fight for anything but their pathetic jobs.
Democrat answer: Filibusters are 'not a good look'. We want to be seen as the party of reasonable adults who honestly want to work across party lines to help our constituents. We won't vote to end the practice as it has a long history and tradition blah blah blah
Honest answer: We don't give a single fuck about our constituents, the only people we are beholden to are the lobbyists who line our pocketbooks. It's easier to control the narrative when all of the media corporations are owned by billionaires.
Nah. You're not thinking like a politician. The real answer is, "this will be a PR disaster for them. LOL this is really goin to help my fundraising"
What if I'm unwilling to vote for a party willing to cooperate with nazis?
