if the subject of your biographical film is not recognizable by only their first name your film’s title should not be their first name and if you do make it their first name i’m going to assume you were too lazy to come up with a good title

this is correct but also not to be dramatic or anything but it seems really bad to have a political system that hangs in the balance of trusting the party in power to act in good faith and not remove the technicality that gives the minority any semblance of power, which they can do at any time
I think it's crazy that some on the left see the right beginning to muse about ending the filibuster and thinking it's a good thing.
They would consolidate power in such a way that makes Dems coming back unfeasible.
Voter ID, mail in restrictions, end of same-day registration, voter roll purges.
