generally, I think we keep blaming politicians for the electoral decisions we make.

I don't agree.

Certainly some voters make incorrect electoral decisions.

But the correct number of voters voted for Trump, voted for a House Majority and voted for a Senate Majority.

It's time to get rid of the filibuster.

I shudder to think what we will lose next if the filibuster is gone, and we have Chuckles the Flight Attendant Abuser as senate majority leader.

recall that the filibuster is there to project the minority from getting steamrolled by the majority, and further recall that history teaches us that destructive social innovation is the liberals' specialty when they are in power.

the fillibuster has saved us more than it has obstructed us -- so much so that they had to trash their own precedent to get their health care hijacking rammed through the senate in year one of The Messiah.
