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 v**ers.
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 v**ers.
>>>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 e******n with massive fraud to get that.
