        Yes. This bullshit where a back-stabbing little “centrist” asshole like Joe Lieberman could raise a pinky finger and shit-can something like the public option [1] is nonsense.

        At least make motherfuckers like him WORK for it. I want REAL filibusters to be required to have such a thing. Not the mere mention of someone indicating that they would filibuster something.

          Ending the filibuster would need to be accompanied by a rapid plan to essentially erase the Republican Party in its current form: mass political education, deep and broad electoral reforms, vast increases in small-d democratic participation, and probably many more radical reforms that would essentially rewrite the country.

          But this would probably also erase the Democratic Party too, so they’d never do it.
