    Democrat answer: Filibusters are ‘not a good look’. We want to be seen as the party of reasonable adults who honestly want to work across party lines to help our constituents. We won’t vote to end the practice as it has a long history and tradition blah blah blah

    Honest answer: We don’t give a single fuck about our constituents, the only people we are beholden to are the lobbyists who line our pocketbooks. It’s easier to control the narrative when all of the media corporations are owned by billionaires.

        Then people who like the collaborationists will blame you when they lose and take it as a sign that they should collaborate even harder.

        Of course, they take everything as a sign that they should collaborate even harder.
