The filibuster MUST stay is place to prevent a cascade of government/country altering actions from taking place.

Allegedly, Manchin (D) and Sinema (D) both opposed removal.

Clarification: the filibuster isn’t a guarantee to prevent a simple majority vote. Just makes is more of a process, more difficult.

I don’t care if the Republicans have a voice in the Senate.

We will be better off in the long run if they don’t.

I wouldn’t depend on traitor RINO McConnell for anything remotely benefitting the GOP or this country. He’s strictly out for himself.
