Fiendish Thingy

15. Now is the time for courage, not cowardice.

The republicans keep the filibuster not out of fear of what democrats might do if they regain power, but because the filibuster provides them with a shield from accountability to the voters, and more importantly, from Trump’s wrath when his cockamamie bills don’t get passed.

Democrats will have the trifecta in 2029, and must govern fearlessly and unhesitatingly.

I know you don’t care, but for others who may be reading, there can be no restoration of lost rights or repairing the damage and destruction without first expanding the court and killing filibuster to do so.
