And two shit bag “Democrats” fucked that prospect up, so what’s the point of bringing it up now? Filibuster may be “self imposed,” but when two wolves in sheep’s clothing stop any meaningful attempt to nuke it from orbit to get shit done, it is a sad rule the rest of us get to suffer because.
The system is designed with the assumption that politically elected representatives would seek compromises in an attempt to reach what is best for the country, making sure it is very difficult for one fraction to get absolute political power.
The Republicans at some point realized the dominant strategy in this system, assuming their goal is power rather than the improvement of society, is to never compromise and to fuck everyone over at every option. The way the system is designed they are in a great position to do a lot of damage that way.
The system was not designed that way. The filibuster is a self imposed rule that can be suspended and has been before.
