Welcome to politcal memes!
These are our rules:
1) Be civil
Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
2) No misinformation
Don’t post any intentional misinformation. When asked by mods, provide sources for any claims you make.
3) Posts should be memes
Random pictures do not qualify as memes. Relevance to politics is required.
4) No bots, spam or self-promotion
Follow instance rules, ask for your bot to be allowed on this community.
5) No AI generated content.
Content posted must not be created by AI with the intent to mimic the style of existing images

No, you don't. They blow past the filibuster (which they don't even do any more, they "call it" with no actual filibuster every occurring) with the "nuclear option" whenever they want to. Simple majority vote.
Filibuster is not in constitution, super majority requirement is a parliamentary rule ONLY, not law... they bypass it all of the time, over 200 "exceptions" the last time I looked.
You've been suckered... and that's why they do this. Most are oblivious, just how they like it
They WOULD do it, that's why threatening to do it actually works.
They WON'T do it, most of them can't even stand for an hour.... let alone make any real effort.
And if they did... well, that's okay. They don't need 5 months "recess" a year.
"oh no, that guy will talk all day." fucking Christ
