ABOLISH THE SENATE (@actionjacko3094) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Abolish The US Senate I love how America has redefined "balance" to mean "minority-rule". There is no equivalent advantage for the majority to balance the disgustingly unrepresentative senate.

Power is concentrated in too few hands in the United States. #AbolishTheSenate #UncapTheHouse #ExpandSCOTUS #AbolishTheElectoralCollege

The legislative filibuster does not protect us. It asymmetrically disadvantages Democrats. McConnell would have nuked it just like he did the SCOTUS filibuster if he believed such action would benefit Republicans.

Our government is designed to be slow, inactive, and nigh unchangeable. As it stands, it is basically an anchor on the will of the American people. Instead of having progressive taxation, abortion rights, and so much more, we have this entity stopping us. We need to change it.

Yup. The Constitution and its institutions only have their power because the people will them to have power. The people can change the Constitution.

The Senate exists to stop the American People. That’s it. We must #AbolishTheSenate so that all those polls showing what Americans support can be turned into law.

Joe Manchin is THE perfect poster boy for why it is not simply the filibuster alone that makes the Senate terrible. Reconciliation bills are not subject to the filibuster. Even with 51 votes, the Senate refuses to pass popular, necessary things! #AbolishTheSenate

Biden has Manchin trouble because only about 33-35 Senate seats change every general election. 2/3 of the Senate was elected in the Trump era. OF COURSE the Senate isn’t going to get on board with Biden’s agenda! #AbolishTheSenate

If every vote should count, then every vote should count EQUALLY. If you’re against the Electoral College, to be consistent, you need to support weakening or abolishing the US Senate. #AbolishTheSenate

The US Senate is a deeply racist institution. Now. Not even back at the beginning. For example, when Sen. Harris left to become the VP, there were no more Black women senators. #AbolishTheSenate
