Keep The Senate Filibuster, But Create Waivers . . . so Mitch McConnell can’t continue to control America!

By Richard Greene

Now that Raphael Warnock and Jon Ossoff are sworn in as the 49th and 50th Democratic Senators, America CAN, finally, escape the brutal, Machiavellian, anti-democratic clutches of a man who, literally, calls himself “The Grim Reaper”.

And laughs about it.

The country has been waiting 12 years for this moment.

Since Barack Obama was sworn in on January 20, 2009 until now, Mitch McConnell has blocked countless pieces of legislation that a significant, or even vast, majority of The American People want, and need.

He did it as Minority Leader from 2009–2015, filibustering virtually everything that President Obama and the Democratic House proposed.

And he did it as Majority Leader from 2015 — today by refusing to even let these much desired and much needed pieces of legislation be brought up in committee or on the floor of The Senate.

Enough, Mitch. You’ve had a good run. It’s time, now, for Democracy . . . that is . . . for the will of the people to prevail.

But here’s the problem.

There are “Institutionalists” in the Democratic caucus who will not “nuke” the filibuster. Sen. Joe Manchin, alone, is enough. And there are likely more.
