ABOLISH the filibuster completely! It is just simple not it go. Eventually the natural order of moving forward will prevail. The ones standing in the way will eventually stand down. 🤗

If Hamilton said we can’t let a pertinacious minority subvert the will of majority, then the filibuster ought be eliminated, if republicans were honest about the found fathers when it comes to the filibuster.

Declawing the ridiculously self proclaimed "Grim Reaper" ‼

Supporters of the filibuster need to do “its a wonderful filibuster” if they want to sway any support in favor of it. And if they can’t find examples of it helping, then we don’t need it.

Ahh yes the standard "we dont need that law because we can policy ourselfs only to later on be used against them"

[barryrussell]

Our government endures because it moves terribly slow and requires a lot of support to get things done. The filibuster is an important is a part of that and has been working for years. The Democrats used the filibuster 328 times in 2019 to 2020. Democrats have used it more than Republicans. If it is so bad why is that?

[applenoo]

This is incredible. The same people who used it a record number of times against Republicans are advocating to remove it.

Adam...tell him we see him now. It won't end well for him, anyone acting stupid towards others. So many gallows to be brought out, they've been built. Looks like he's the one needing evaluated. Yes, we see it all.

better off going out in space then worry about it - because sound like a lobbyist that is trying to get something out of deal other then getting rid of filibuster -like lots of money in pocket

[erikrodriguez]

Reform is better than getting rid of it I like bidens idea of debating that bill on the floor till you run out steam to keep going.

[savannahm.laurentian]

They've been talking about this for several decades. Sigh.

[clairemercer]

The senatte does not even include representation California has the same number of senators as Arizona. For true representation more populous states should have more senators. Instead red states out number blue states even though population.states have a greater

[johnnyzeee]

Very nice. But this guy talking has nothing to do with it. The Senate Rules commitee must propose and approve ending filibuster, then 67 Senators must vote for it. Never happen.

[froghare]

Ebb and flow of politics....I am not as dumb as you think....liberal progressives are though.

[alexmcdonald]

Yea they want the filibuster gone cause they’re in power now xD

[rhysgrealish]

Hey Joe Biden 1972 called. They want their Senator back.
