Yup, That’s right Kamala Harris as the President of the Senate can just get rid of the filibuster. She may be challenged on it but I believe that it can be done. I’m sick of the Dems crying they can’t do something when they totally can. They just don’t want to.
Remember when the Parliamentarian said we couldn’t have $15 minimum wage? Well Kamala could have overridden her. This isn’t a question of if she could or couldn’t. She 100% could but refused. That makes her complicit in workers not making a minimum $15 an hour. She was a favorite of the Billionaires for a reason.
But an even bigger issue right now is voting rights. With a stroke of a pen she could end the filibuster. Why won’t she? How will history look upon her when they lost many seats by Democrats in 2022 & then the Presidency in 2024? It’s bad enough that we have to deal with the Republicans doing everything they can to undermine democracy. Do we really have to deal with the Democrats pretending they can’t do anything about it when they absolutely can?
So sick of the games being played in DC as We The People are suffering. The Biden Administration like the Trump Administration & all administrations frankly are playing with numbers. Do you actually believe that the real unemployment numbers are 3.9% ? Do you believe that 6.4 million jobs were created since the Biden Admin took office? Do you believe that it’s a good thing that 96% of schools are open right now? Of Course not. They aren’t straight out lies of course they just don’t tell the whole story.
The 3.9% Unemployment doesn’t take into account the millions that have exhausted their unemployment benefits. The 6.4 Million jobs created doesn’t take into account that people are having to get 2 or 3 jobs just to survive. It doesn’t take into account the massive inflation in all sectors. It doesn’t take into account that so many jobs have been lost in the last few years. We’re nowhere even close to where we need to be to say we’re recovered. The Trump administration & the Biden Administration have failed the American people. We were left to defend ourselves as other much poorer countries around the world took care of it’s people. But hey at least Billionaires have been more successful than ever during the pandemic and that’s what matters to our politicians on all sides.
So while I think the Parliamentarian serves an important roll they shouldn’t ever get in the way of what is best for the American people for political reasons. The Parliamentarian is an unelected person and they get paid $172,500 to gatekeep for the politicians & billionaires. But they are not the real problem. The actually elected official Vice President Kamala Harris not willing to use her powers as President of the Senate is the problem. If she refuses to use them in a time like these when all the Dems do is whine that Democracy is dying because of voting rights what good is she? Certainly not worthy of any votes come 2024. So VP Kamala Harris please do what you were sent to Washington to do. Help the American people in every way possible. But considering during the 2020 Presidential election season you had the most Billionaires on your side I’m not counting on it. But PLEASE prove me wrong.
