I think I think we should get rid of the filibuster.
Everyone's like, oh, well, now the Republicans, would you be pissed if the filibuster wasn't there?
Yeah, I would be annoyed that they maybe could pass a few more things.
But like, I believe the filibuster is bad.
And so I believe that it is bad no matter what.
Like, I just think that maybe Republicans could be consistent for once on the reforms they support and when they support them.
That is an absurd fucking position.
The way to fix unfair rules is to fix the rules, not just sit there and let your ass get beat.
So last year, Abigail Spanberger in Virginia beat her opponent by 15 points.
The referendum passed by three.
It's a 12 point swing.
Why do you think it was so close?
And if it passed by 30 points, isn't it like a D plus 20 state usually?
And I don't know how the vote broke down in any of the individual districts.
But I also think it is very understandable if you're an independent or if you're a Republican and you're deciding whether to come out and vote or not or vote.
Like if you're in a district that's going to get gerrymandered and so you no longer really have a have a say and you're a member of Congress or you're not going to ever get a Republican.
I can see why you vote against it.
