#Republicans oppose democracy
They have used every means possible to undermine democracy in order to secure for themselves the power of the U.S. government.
They continue, for example, to pursue their historically aggressive agenda of gerrymandering and voter suppression.

Thus far, since last November’s election, GOP lawmakers in 28 states have advanced over 100 bills aimed at restricting access to voting.
They are not lovers of democracy.
They are still lying about the election (#StopTheSteal)
They remain racist, homophobic, etc...

THEY WANT POWER, not representative democracy
They don’t care that the majority of Americans support increasing the minimum wage. That Americans desperately want and need a relief package. They only to ENFORCE and IMPOSE their own moral and economic vision on Americans

The spirit of the FILIBUSTER, a mechanism that effectively means legislation must earn 60 votes in the senate to pass rather than a simple majority, was to inspire, indeed insist on, political compromise.
COMPROMISE IS NOT POSSIBLE

#MoscowMitch was perfectly happy to eliminate the filibuster in 2017 when it came to confirming Supreme Court Justices.
That’s a pretty big deal
Surely we can allow 51 elected representatives to make a decision about increasing the minimum wage.
MAKE IT HAPPEN... 51% DECIDES
