Every conversation I have with friends including Republicans about how to start create a more representative, less corrupt system of government always comes back to the fact that we basically can’t do anything until we abolish the filibuster.
If you want people to lose faith in our republic- letting a rule that’s not even in our constitution stop us from passing laws the vast majority of Americans agree on is a great way of going about it.
Universal Background checks have 97% support but has a snowballs chance in hell at passing because the filibuster.
If 97% of us agree on something and we still can’t pass it- I think that’s a pretty good sign something needs to change.

We are supposed to have a representative form of government not an obstructionist one- abolish the filibuster.
