(24,504 posts)Do the Filibuster and drive through legislation to protect voting rights going forward. I'd be happy to defend the votes in 2022 and 2024.

(90,347 posts)... floor vote.
I'm tired of "rules" for democrats but the kGOP will get ride of 50% of all rules that are left when they get into power.
The kGOP understands no one cares about "rules" when you promise them things if they have the majority.
Dems end up explaining congressional rules and the milisecond they start explaining they lose.

(1,182 posts)Democrats are going to "respect" the rules, keep the filibuster, and thus, sorry, no minimum wage increase. Campaign promises? Whatcha gonna do?
And this, just after the other side sent a violent mob into the Capital to kill them all.
Got it. Rules are rules.
The ghost of LBJ must be SO proud!
