    Republicans don’t want to end the filibuster for the same reason as Democrats: they are afraid Democrats will undo whatever they manage to pass.

    Sounds good. Maybe we should undo whatever Republicans pass. You don’t want to do that either, of course.

    Republicans already have their mechanism for undoing things Democrats like: the courts and red states. You’ll happily let all of it go forever as long as Democrats have the only thing they care about: the Jim Crow Filibuster.

    We’ve been going around in circles for some time now. You’re determined to support a stupid racist policy that serves almost exclusively to prevent civil rights legislation from passing. I’m done with this conversation. Thanks for the confirmation that the Dixiecrats never completely left the party.

      And you want to undo decades of progress, because you weren’t alive before those laws were passed and you’re clueless about what life would be like without them. “Sounds good, burn it all down” is something only a privileged person would say.

      It’s a shame you’re so obsessed with instant gratification. People are willing to work for enduring change, not the temporary quick-fix you’re selling.
