“The Democrats are far more likely to win the Midterms, and the next Presidential Election, if we don’t do the Termination of the Filibuster (The Nuclear Option!),” Trump wrote.
trump doesn’t understand it’s called “the nuclear option” because it blows up the sham system the oligarchs put in place.
As long as there’s a threat of a filibuster, both sides have an excuse not to do anything productive.
Right now all it it takes is someone saying “I heard someone might filibuster” and that prevents a vote. That’s why it feels like nothing has been done for over a decade.
Without a filibuster, votes are going to have to happen. Politicians stop being able to claim they would vote for something, and actually have to cast a vote.
trump just assumed “the nuclear option” has to mean it’s the biggest possible move, and no one is going to be able to convince him to drop it because of that nickname.
