AOC: We Must Eliminate the Filibuster Because ‘Democratic Policies Are Popular’

John Adams wanted the Senate specifically to avoid a tyranny of the majority.

Or parent to a kid: “Tell me everything you know. I’ve got two minutes free.”

I get the impression that Ocasio-Cortez says things and doesn’t think through what she is trying to communicate.

That’s only because she isn’t communicating to YOU.
She’s communicating with a base that already believes
everything she is saying.

Your impression does not matter to her.

Classy

The filibuster is designed to protect the states interests. We are not a democracy.

[HamiltonJay]

Well the filibuster is a rule, not part of the constitution, but it plays into the very notion that the founders wanted, which was a republic not a democracy.

They knew democracy was simply tyranny of the majority, and led to bad bad things.

A lesson no kids today are taught.

[ridesthemiles]

She never had ANY “THINKING” brain cells, IMO.

“Puerto Rican barmaid. .....”

When she was in school in toney Yorktown Heights she went by Sandy Ocasio. And maybe was passing as Italian since she’s lighter than my Calabrese/Sicilian cousins. Not me however. 50% County Meath.

[frank ballenger]

True, the literal filibuster rule wasn’t theirs.

The idea of passing maniacal leaders and popular oddball trends taking over the country forever and fundamentally changing it was what they wanted to slow down.

Supposedly our Senate and SCOTUS keep the 2 year House from making us all wear our underwear on the outside of our clothes forever. Nod to Bananas.

[Lurkinanloomin]

The whole idea behind this move is for that to never happen again.

[Jonny7797]

So popular they have to drop the number of votes required in order for them to pass.

Got it.

In other words, up is down, right is left, day is night.

I always compare watching porn to eating out of a garbage can. I wouldn’t do either

[Biggirl]

NO! Not true!

I believe AOC should be removed from her position since she has already admitted she’s in therapy because she was in the same State where Trump supporters gathered and the FBI sent its minions in to storm the Capital…..when she wasn’t present. She’s obviously mentally unstable.

‘Democratic Policies Are Popular’

At least, that's the way it worked in elementary school.
