The Republicans must recognize the Democrats for the obstructionists that they are and use all available powers to resolve this crisis. Removing the filibuster would end the suffering of countless Americans and allow effective leadership to return. Republicans, therefore, must reach for the nuclear option now before the Democrats inevitably eliminate the filibuster themselves.
The filibuster is a cornerstone of American democracy and an essential safeguard against authoritarian overreach and extremist policies. Eliminating this procedure would destroy America’s deliberative government and enable dangerous political swings that deepen division. The filibuster is all that stands between democracy and Trump’s authoritarian vision of America.
