      Obama’s first term? And in the first place why the fuck do they keep the filibuster when it keeps getting used against them? That alone is ineffective governing. Also they’re ineffective even in the executive branch so it’s obviously not about the filibuster.

        Idk I guess it’s crazy that all it takes is 1 or 2 senators to block everything. Really, we should get rid of the senate.

        It’s so ridiculous that those lazy sons of bitches changed the laws so that they don’t even have to filibuster, they just have to announce that they plan to and it’s considered a filibuster.
