      Democrats need to grow a spine and abolish filibuster. republicans already removed the filibuster for SCOTUS nominations, might as well go all the way so maybe we have a chance of fixing things.

        Have not had more than 50 in over a decade. Why would you allow the simple majority rule when you’re literally outnumbered?
