Great history lesson. The dems did not have a super majority in the senate so here we are. There was no progress because the filibuster. Thank god for that filibuster cause we need it now. You need to get 70% of americans to agree with you if you want to make change. It's a high bar to set and billionaires sure are influencial in the conversations, and the elections. We should change that but 70% of people can't agree on that either. You think a new government will fix that or do we need to fix the broken people? Like why is it that 70% of ameicans can't agree on taxing people richer than them or keeping billionaires out of politics in a meaningful manner?
I've been playing attention for the past 6 administrations. I cared about Gaza while you were playing in the sandbox. You guys just found out about Gaza on Tic Tok, and handed trump a presidency over it because you can't even seperate iranian propaganda from genuine compassion.
Fire up that revolution. Im waiting to see the coward communist live up to their words. Worse than the 'libertarians' who are drooling over a tyranical government. buncha steppy sneks. Sorry for focusing on data and reality instead of day dreaming about revolution your to scared to enact. Whole lotta revolution talk but sure is quiet in the streets? Lotta typing tho keep it up! The revolution will not be televised it will be typed and purity checked.
Your comment serves the wrong master. Please go watch the live stream and give it a chance. I think he will show you he's sincere and the people are who he represents. Join us in hope fren.
Listen to the video and you'd think differently. He's been screaming about the rich robbing the poor for 24 hours straight man. At least watch before you say something. This conversation is about the filibuster which is live and on going, save the grievences for another thread plz.
Correct, right now they are proving that they will hold the senate floor all day and prevent legislation. I'm hoping they have discovered a way to block everything. Scream and bitch and never give up the floor. No new laws. No new budgets, no tax cuts. endless sit in.
I think this is that thing. They have found a way to shut down the congress. They just need to hold the floor for 2 years. They need to be encouraged to hold the senate floor for 2 years. The ultimate sit in. You want your representatives doing something? Obstructing congressional progression is that thing. Endless sit in.
The DNC should have bent the knee to Bernie. The DNC should be abolished for not addressing the populist wave that became MAGA. The tea party movement was about dead and they fed it millions of disenfranchised voters to rebrand into MAGA.
They say millions of people are watching right now. We are almost at 24 hours straight, he aint slowing down. This is going to be a record. He's got a binder full of letters from americans to read. He gonna read them all. It's so based.
Did you get kicked off of r/con for not being extremist enough? Or reddit banned for being to extremist? Did slither your way to lemmy learning nothing from the experience?
They've been speaking for 24 hours. They've prevented anything from happening in congress for 24 hours. They've been brining light to republican plans and the concequences of their action so far. They are doing the only thing they can which is stand on the senate floor and provide a oppostion for the republican adgenda.
What are you doing? Complaining? Dooming? Are you protesting with us on friday? Head in the sand scared? What are you up to captain criticism. you've clearly been thinking hard about this?
How many days are in a legislative session. They have taken up a full days of the senate. preventing anything from happen.
Millions of people like me are watching and trying to find hope and direction together. We are blocking the republicans and bringing light to their evil. 24 hours straight none stop.
what are you doing beside huffing and puffing gas?
I'd be interested in your ideas on a new constitution? You seem like you've also been thinking about our situtation from many angles. We are certainly at a point in history where I am willing to throw a hail mary.
Yea im that age as well where big brother and friends are young GenX knuckle heads. Gen Z is REALLY hard to communicate with. the women are super intelligent and articulate and the boys leave a lot to be desired in intellectual conversation. The younger they are the more this stand out. I'm hoping gen A is based.
GenX has had a really disappointing political evolution. The punk rock boys i looked up to are extinct.
Nah i'm fine with capping office at 70-75. I think we also need to be more open and blunt when people have served enough. There needs to be succession plans and not just sit in seat and die.
hahahaha i have a buddy that does odd folky stuff, i can dig anything if its got heart. I will check it out after the filibuster.
