The filibuster must end in order to save our country. Some worry about what would happen if or when the GQP regains all the power again and what they will do with it and against the people. The Democrats must just do a better job and fight like hell for the people and not let the GQP get back into power.
It is up to us, the unions and people who want healthcare for all, free education, a living wage, address climate change for clean air and water, the right to vote, and stop the never-ending wars.
The filibuster is basically a form of obstruction and used to block legislation from proceeding to a vote. Republicans use this often, especially when the legislation will have a positive effect for the people or making voting easier or whenever Republicans want to have a tantrum. Those who do not pay attention to what happens in the Senate or don’t care so long as the immature Republicans are sticking it to the Democrats, and by extension, the people’s wellbeing, blame Democrats for not passing bills that help them.
If the filibuster was eliminated, we could start working on the down-ballot elections, which will change the gerrymandering of districts used mostly by republicans to steal elections from Democrats.
This is a fight we can win and would be good for all working and retired people and their families. We need all our groups to stand together and support each others needs and wants. There is enough for all of us, despite what the republicans will have you believe, and this will only make us stronger, better educated, healthier, and a reason to get up and go to work while earning a living wage to take care of your families. Eliminating the filibuster means we have a better chance of getting immigration reform, education reforms, healthcare reform, eliminating Citizens United, lobbying and many other improvements.
All unions need to come together and become politically active like the good old days and start applying pressure to eliminate the filibuster and other measures that help their members.
In 2026 unions worldwide must educate and expand their memberships or face certain death. We need to educate our workers to understand that the republican party does not care about, does not deserve their support or votes and only cares about the billionaires. The GOP is their enemy and not their friends. The GOP and billionaires are the workers’ enemy. They want the workers’ sweat and blood for as cheap as they can get it. These greedy people and their insatiable appetite for more leaving us with much less will not stop until we’re forced to work for scraps and fighting each other for the pittance. They will not invite you to golf with them or go hunting or to dinner with them. In fact, they are always in pursuit of ways to destroy our unions and the way of life we’ve obtain by being union. One way they are doing this is to use the court system, especially the lop-sided Supreme Court, to take away our union rights and to get more states to vote for The Right to Work, which leaves work...
