McConnell: Democrats would end the filibuster if they sweep on Election Day "I don’t think they’re kidding. I think they’ll do it"

“They’re all committed to it now, because Chuck has made them take a public position. Every Democratic challenger, I’m told, running for the Senate is taking the same position,” McConnell said. “I think they fully intend to do it if they can.”
Thanks for advocating for a good reason to have democratic control of the senate

God, wouldn't that be amazing? Things actually getting done instead of our legislators sitting with their thumb up their asses.
Well, less of them sitting with their thumb up their asses.
New rule. Every politician needs a heat signature based gps monitored butt plug inside them at all times.
That way their thumbs are always free.
It worked both ways though. But in the end, did it actually do much? The times I remember when fill buster was used ultimately the majority still managed to pass the legislation.
I think what would be better is that when there's a stalemate it would trigger a new election like it is done in some countries.
That's because if you know the opposition is serious about blocking a bill via filibuster, you won't propose it because it doesn't have enough support.
