That is actually proof of the higher moral ground of the Democrats position. There will surely come a time when Democrats will once again be in the minority. When that happens-if they permanently ban the filibuster-they will no longer be able to stop the Republican craziness
Nevertheless, Democrats continues to fight to end the filibuster, because we know it has no place in a true democracy.

Democrats and "higher moral ground". You've got to be shitting me.
Please explain how a Party who "know it has no place in a true democracy" has ABSOLUTELY NO PROBLEM USING THIS VERY PROCESS 300+ times during a Republican Presidency.
You Liberals have no idea how slimy you are, do you??? For you to even make this Post goes a long way in confirming what a lot of People here think of you. In your mind (per what YOU just said)...a true Democracy is what Liberals think it should be. Any dissenting opinion MUST be crushed. Hence...now a sudden need to eliminate the Filibuster.

Oh trust me if Republicans (Trump) blew up the senate it be unconstitutional. And the Constitution calls for separation.of powers. This action would solidify power... turning Congress and the Executives Branch into a rubber stamp Bannana Republic And if the Judicial Branch were to try and intervene... well they would just pack the court till they like the outcome. So in a way it is implied.
As for the senate changing the rules... legally is takes a vote with 67 yes votes to change them. 7 more then normal business under the rules of the senate. But you and Smuck only believe in Rules for thee... not for me.

And an ALARMING threat to our (as mostpost puts it) "PRECIOUS DEMOCRACY"
No doubt.
But since the cucks are controlled by the captured corporate legacy media, they will never hear this kind of opinion, like they heard constantly when Trump was POTUS.

No this is a total lack of morals, a power grab, which is what the Democratic Party imbodies
But seeing as we are a Democratic Republic, we rejected Mob Rule for the Freedoms inscribe in the Constitution.

I'm changing my vote to Bill Gates, too.
While America is focused on the battles between the Repubs and the Demos, Gates, along with his pharmaceutical cohorts (Pfizer and BioNTechand) and "the head cult families (Rothschilds, Rockefellers, etc. who own big pharma)," is quietly shaping the course of this nation.
Long article, and as scary as hell!

In 1999, Microsoft founder Bill Gates gave over $20M to Johns Hopkins to establish a wing of the hospital where the Foundation was born and is now the largest private foundation in the world and easily the most powerful. This foundation has always hidden behind the mantra of “Health and help” for women in third world countries thus manufacturing consent for its activities through the manipulation of public opinion. The thrust of the foundation has been working with the big Pharma companies, to create vaccines for the masses in these impoverished countries. The BMGF funds the FDA in the U.S. and the Medicine & Healthcare products Regulatory Agency in the U.K.
The Gates Foundation also owns shares in Pfizer and BioNTech, raising questions about corruption in the FDA and IHMA, both of which appear to have given Pfizer’s COVID shot preferential treatment despite overwhelming safety concerns and questionable effectiveness. The Gates Foundation is also a primary funder of the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation, which was responsible for the grossly inaccurate modeling that led to several governors ordering COVID patients to be sent into nursing homes.

COVID-19 — A Launch Pad for the Great Reset
Of course, Gates’ “green” plans will also grow his own wealth, just like the COVID pandemic has done. Indeed, the so-called “climate change crisis” is nothing but another tool to implement the Great Reset, which will forever alter the face of society and commerce, shifting virtually all wealth and ownership to a few technocrats at the top, leaving regular people with no wealth or freedom to speak of.
Considering Gates’ position within the technocratic elite, it’s no surprise his fingerprints can be found on all the necessary chess pieces of this global chess game. As you may recall, the Gates Foundation co-sponsored the pandemic preparedness simulation for a “novel coronavirus,” known as Event 201, in October 2019 along with the World Economic Forum and Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security.
The event eerily predicted what would happen just 10 weeks later, when COVID-19 appeared. Both the Gates Foundation and the World Economic Forum are also partnered with the United Nations which, while keeping a relatively low profile, appears to be at the heart of the globalist takeover agenda.

So we can get processed foods at every stop along the way we go right? Currently we can buy fresh without much looking right? But what happens when fresh becomes problematic for the average person? I am not saying this will happen, I am saying the few could make it so.
