    We passed bills just fine for TWO HUNDRED YEARS before we ever made up this “filibuster avoidance” bullshit.

    They call it the “nuclear option” for exactly this reason… weenies are scared to even discuss it. It’s not nuclear. Nothing blows up. It’s just a majority vote.

    They put it to the side whenever they want, since it’s a simple parliamentary procedure. Hundreds of exceptions. Nothing blows up.

    Put on your big boy pants and read about it, don’t be frightened
