YellowSUV 11/13/24 12:42:23 PM #7:	Flaming_Fire619 posted... Thune is very much cut from the same cloth as McConnell. There's actually a chance he doesn't move to strike the filibuster. That is long term the smart move for Republicans. The filibuster gives Republicans a free pass for voting yes on garbage and unpopular legislation because Democrats will filibuster it. With no filibuster, these Republican will have consequences since they will have to live with the aftermath of unpopular legislation OR vote no and piss off their base. The filibuster is the biggest obstacle to actual progressive legislation. With no filibuster we would all have universal healthcare for example. --- We all live in a Yellow SUV! a Yellow SUV! <cite>YellowSUV posted [p:982924134] in John Thune...
