If Senate Filibuster Reform fails, GOP will continue to dismantle the Government

In the next few days, either Senate Democrats will reform the filibuster rules or they will allow the GOP to continue to dismantle the federal government. It's really that important, so why don't people care? There are several reasons.

For this generation of GOP politicians, their basic tenet and their mantra is fairly simple: The federal government is bad and needs to gotten rid of or starved out of existence. Any programs run by the federal government can be run by a corporation or a company. States have the sovereign right to do whatever they like. And no state has to agree with another state when it comes to laws. Looking at every GOP move over the last 5 years, you can see that this is exactly what every law and every idea they've agreed to have stemmed from. So how will Filibuster Reform stem this tide? Simply, the GOP in the Senate simply refuse to confirm any nominee for any government board or agency they disagree with through the filibuster. All this reform act does is to make those nominees' approval by a simple majority instead of by more than 60 votes. It's a small act of reform but an important act. So why don't people care? Simply, part of the population, those watching Fox News, agrees with the GOP, while others care but they're watching channels that are following the trial in Florida. But, the biggest reason is that Senate Democrats haven't even tried to get on TV and explain the reason why this move is needed. Think the GOP has that problem? Of course they don't. They're on TV every day telling the world what they don't like, why they don't like it, and what they're going to do about it. This is one place where the Democrats need to follow the lead of the GOP.

If Senate Filibuster Reform fails, the GOP will continue to dismantle the federal government. Too bad most people don't know how important this reform is to their daily lives.
