Some of your democrat senators don't want to end the filibuster for legislation either, knowing that there will be future consequences. Needing 60 votes for law changes is fair and reasonable.

The filibuster isn't in the Constitution. It's a Senate tradition that has been increasingly abused over the past 10 years especially as hyperpartisanship has grown.

As my meme references, McConnell already nuked the filibuster tradition regarding Trump's nominees.

There is no good reason why legislation that commands a majority shouldn't be passed. That's how it's always worked in the House, and it's how it should work going forward in the Senate.

Not to mention every piece of legislation that does get passed will face the stacked 6-3 conservative SCOTUS, also engineered by McConnellist dirty tricks and double-backing.

Republicans want a government that doesn't govern. The American people voted to get the country moving again.

Actually we voted for Trump to stay, and that was stolen. We also like legislative gridlock, frankly. It keeps leftist garbage from being forced upon us.

Like: Fixing broken roads, removing lead pipes, easy access to medicine? That leftist garbage that all first world countries have? And the election wasn’t stolen. 60 out of 60 cases were dismissed and one of the only dead voters was a vote for Trump. And thanks for making it clear you don’t want anything to get done that way the GQP will do well in 2022 .
