When might makes right (#4432)

      Not often does strong arming come across as the best option but in the case of ending the filibuster in order to process legislation that is not only needed but wanted by the vast majority of our nation, it is appropriate. The opposition is a gang of anti democratic thugs who would rather steal power from the majority than legislate popular and necessary solutions to problems. So strong arm them out of our way in order to form our more perfect union is the correct step forward. Not all of our democratic caucus is at this point yet but more than 90% of us are and the last bit who are unsure need to learn why the rest of us are not going to stop until the filibuster is either removed or put aside so we can get around it!
     The republican party has not been shy about showing us that they are not going to legislate for the good of we the people so sidestepping them to get our work done is our best option since it is the only option to creating success for all of us, yes, even illogical and intentionally confused republicans. This necessary strong arming is not for selfish, greedy, lusty gain, it is for democratizing our society so that all of us have an equitable start in life to pursue our happiness as the intention of our American Declaration of Independence highlights. The idea that democracy is not for all of us is ludicrous with a Civil War as an example. To the winners of maintaining democracy goes the spoils and for that we are both shamed, that it took a war to change our disgrace, but also humbled that we won the ideal of democracy!
     So all of us who are of the democratic loving mindset, we need to stand up for rights for all and do it without hesitation. Life is not to be skated through without taking a stand. That is the shy cowards way of hiding from reality. Instead we must stand up in the sunshine of reality and muscle up the courage to defend democracy against those from without and within. The time for hiding from our duty to democracy is over and the only course any of us have left is to decide if democracy is going to be our form of government or if a white nationalist form of authoritarianism will prevail. So let us get to work and power the ideals and principles of democracy forward right over the heads of those who won't!
