I would argue that the senate filibuster [View all]

is leading us into a fascist state.

People think the president has powers they just don’t have. Because dumb asses on both fringes want a strong man doing what they want to be done, now. They just don’t understand how our democracy works.

The filibuster creates this state, this frustration, and in the end leads us down a road, where some oblivious to how this all works, where they are looking to one man or woman (undoubtfully though a woman) to get us out of this mess. When it is not possible if you want a democracy.

If people could just stop for one fucking minute and understand what it is they are asking and doing.

People who believe idiotically one man can solve this, that is killing our democracy. Do people really want one person deciding all of this?

The answer is to elect more democrats across all sections and put the fascists to bed.

I don’t want Joe Biden doing what trump did. Is he perfect no. Is he perfection compared to trump, yes.

Yeah, I am sick of democrats eating each other alive. It must STOP. And I want people to start using their brains and understand what is at stake.
