Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT) said Tuesday on MSNBC’s “Andrea Mitchell Reports” that he supported removing or reforming the filibuster so Democrats could pass legislation in the U.S. Senate with a simple majority vote in order to “save our democracy.”
When asked about Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) opposing removing the filibuster, Murphy said, “We no longer have two parties that are both committed to democracy and extending the vote. In fact, we have one party that spent much of the beginning of this year actively trying to install someone as president who didn’t win the electoral college vote or the popular vote. So when that breakdown occurs, it is the responsibility of the majority party to make sure that our democracy is protected.”

Coexistence with such people is not possible
Dem speak for “We need to end the filibuster so we can finally turn America into a full Communist state..we are running out of time”
We need to ditch the Rats to save our Republic!!!
We are a Constitutional Republic, not a Democracy. Very concerning that there are Congress critters that don’t understand this.
We need to replace Democrats with CONSERVATIVES to save our REPUBLIC as defined by our CONSTITUTION.
Mob rule is what democrats live for.
We are intentionally NOT a democracy, dips***!!! It’s to prevent the tyranny of voters dumb enough to elect idiots like you.
EXACTLY!!!
And the DEMONRATS want to flood the country with voters so they can turn it into a NOT FREE republic!!
Democracies turn into mobocracies, the first step toward becoming an all-out “command-and-control” regime, which may style itself to be “socialist” or “Marxist”, but real socialism has never been achieved. Nor has Marxism ever worked either, no matter who is running the show.
A militaristic oligarchy winds up being the end result.
The filibuster is the tool of cool rationality, to prevent seriously bad ideas from being adopted, by a stampede of a majority of 50% plus one. The supermajority provides the chance to ask, do we REALLY want this, or is it just a passing fancy?
He understands, but guys like him will say anything.
And he’s a commie!
Democracy is the tyranny of the majority.
We don’t have a democracy to protect the minority from the whims of the majority.
“We need more Despotism to save Democracy!!!” < /sarc >
Bingo!
“We no longer have two parties that are both committed to democracy and extending the vote.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Problem is the Democrats want to extend the vote to people who are not citizens.
Exactly - a Constitutional Republic at that; the people tell the government what to do, not the other way round.
“... trying to install someone as president who didn’t win the electoral college vote or the popular vote.”
Democracy = Mob Rule............................
