While rebutting another post here on Lemmy, I ran into this. This says exactly what I want to say.
I am not a friend of Biden’s Administration. I think they drug their feet over a variety of things ranging from holding Trump and his goons accountable for January 6th through rulemaking on issues like OTC Birth Control and abortion rights, and yes, I think he’s too quick to please big business. But then I remember what the alternative is, and … well, disappointed in Biden or not, I’m voting for him. Because my wife is a Black bisexual goth woman, four strikes under Team Pepe’s tent. And I have my own strikes for marrying her as a White dude, and respecting her right to not have kids since she doesn’t want them is another strike against me. And I care about my Non-Christian, Gay, Transgender, and Minority friends, and will never willingly subject them to Team Pepe.
That’s been the case for over a decade now and there’s still a filibuster. And the court is still only 9 justices. I submit they don’t want to solve it. They don’t want to catch the car.
I believe it’s those same 3 “Democrats” that are the ones that prevented the change to the filibuster. “Totally not corrupted by his own business interests” Mancin is one I remember for sure was against it. There definitely is a contingent of Democrats that “don’t want to catch the car” but I think they’re the minority. With our stupidly thin margins that minority controls the agenda unfortunately :(
You don’t need to get past the filibuster to get rid of the filibuster.
