I am a lifelong Democrat and I believe that the filibuster is undemocratic. It allows a minority of Senators to block a majority decision. How is this democratic? If the Republican Party feels that it can't become a party of the majority, it should adopt policies that would make it more attractive to others, like minority voters.
In case you don't understand this, it's how business is done in a democracy, or should be!

>>>I'm sorry about that, But it isn't to late to change.
***and I believe that the filibuster is undemocratic.
>>>We're a Republic and it is essential to protect the minority from over zealous majorities with bad laws like this current administration. If you weren't a democrat you would be able to reason that out.
*** It allows a minority of Senators to block a majority decision.
>>>Isn't that wonderful. When a majority decides to do stupid things that are bad for America, a smart bunch of Senators can stop that and save our Republic from disastrous legislation. Especially by over zealous Democrats.
***How is this democratic?
>>>We aren't a democracy. We are a Republic and that goes to the core of what makes a Republic work, Respect for minorities.
***If the Republican Party feels that it can't become a party of the majority, it should adopt policies that would make it more attractive to others, like minority voters.
>>>The Republican Party is a Majority. It has the majority of State Legislatures and legislators and Governors. It gained massively in the House and holds a 50 50 split in the Senate. The democrats do have the presidency and they had to steal the election with massive fraud to get that.
