I keep getting smacked down too.

I hope that once we start getting help from Biden and the congress, people will understand that government can be of use to the people. And the ridiculous parliamentary rules are man made.

Not handed down by God. The rules need to work for the people.

The rules are not meant to be worshiped and written in cement.

The rules should have flexibility to help Americans in a crisis.
