Re: Showdown Nears in Senate Over Filibusters Change
Isn't giving both Alaska and California two senators anti-democratic? The Senate is anti-democratic by design.
The filibuster is beyond idiotic in the current form. The idiotic thing is, that it only requires a 51 votes to get something passed, but 60 votes to be allowed to vote.. that is beyond twisted and frankly anti-democratic. The sick thing is, that one or two people have the power to keep stuff off the table even though a large majority of Senators agree on it. And that power has been abused many times, especially by the GOP the last 5 years, and especially from certain far right wing GOP wackos and often for personal gain. It has to stop.
