In reply to the discussion: What MIGHT Have Dems Done To Stop GOP On The Fillibuster? (title change) [View all]eniwetok
(1,629 posts)I don't expect the GOP to ever give a shit about morally legitimate government. After all the GOP has a minority agenda of protecting wealth and could never win an election on that issue. The problem here is NOT the GOP. I've been debating Dems about democratic government for close to 20 years and despite what one might think about liberal Dems being the might defenders of democratic principles... they are NOT.
Liberal Dems live in a state of perpetual cognitive dissonance. They want to believe they have a monopoly of democracy yet they implicitly support our ANTIdemocratic system. We see that here in this thread where so many are stuck in what they learned in their 4th grade US History class... that somehow the system of the Senate vs the House all works out to make the system fair. But this is entirely based on a defective narrative that only STATES matter. Once we look at how any single PERSON is represented... then lie falls apart.
