Are you upset with the Senate? Frustrated? Angry? That’s all well and good. But the filibuster isn’t the reason why the upper chamber keeps disappointing you. Next time someone suggests otherwise, ask them to state in detail what GOP has done to make filibustering hard.

Would be nice if they rolled out an appropriations bill instead of waiting until the last minute (again), then complaining about the filibuster. True negotiations happen on the House and Senate floor during the legislative process. Rs not blameless for shutdowns.

Agreed. House shouldn’t wait until last minute to send bill to Senate either.

Agreed. House sent over last CR the day before govt ran out of money - Senate set cloture vote to end debate on CR for one hour before shutdown. Rs share blame because they refuse to have negotiations on House and Senate floor.
