Ever since Democrats gained control of the federal government following the 2020 presidential election, there’s been quite an uproar about the filibuster. Democrats began trashing the filibuster and claiming it’s a supposedly racist relic standing in the way of real change.

The problem for Democrats, however, is a) this argument doesn’t hold water and b) they don’t have the votes to end the filibuster. When former President Trump and Republicans controlled the federal government, Democrats repeatedly filibustered.

Here’s the bottom line: Democrats never had any qualms with the filibuster until it ceased to work to their advantage. During a town hall on Thursday night, President Biden essentially went all in on ending the Senate filibuster.

Biden’s latest ramblings on the congressional filibuster

The Democrat president clearly professed his support to “fundamentally alter” what America now knows as the filibuster. In a nutshell, Biden stated this is necessary to get various leftist bills through Congress and onto his desk to be signed into law.
