Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
I believe in a strong two party system, that`s been the strength of our country for generations.
The filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
