(Democrats) obstructionism and hypocrisy

[Confused Democrat]

Democrats are in a pickle, but I think the choice is clear. Obstruct.

Who cares if we look like hypocrites. Republicans set this disgusting precedent, and now they'll have to live with it until both Democrats and Republicans can come together and start compromising again.

Things are going to get really f-ing ugly before they start to get better.

I agree. Frankly, the Republicans do not have any right to talk here about the Dems obstructing anything. They already set the example so suck it in, Reps.

Just remember this in 8 years when its back to GOP obstruction.

We will.

It'll be a never-ending cycle until our situation becomes untenable.

So in a hypothetical future where Trump is reelected, the Senate has 56 Republicans, and the filibuster hasn't been nuked, is it ok for the Democrats to keep filibustering for a full 8 years? Because if your answer is yes, then the Republicans must not have done anything wrong in refusing to consider Garland.

Democrats shouldn't filibuster in that situation.
