We are not a Democracy
by gunsmoke

We are a Republic and rules are rules. You can't complain about it now when you took advantage of it in the past. Hell, there isn't even a "right" to vote for President.

Seems like sour grapes to me.

It would be sour grapes IF

It would be sour grapes IF the GOP were being equally deferential to the majority as they demanded of the Dems when the Dems were a much larger minority.

As for rules - well the Filibuster rule is just that a rule. It is not a Constitutional requirement and can easily be done away with.

Not gonna happen. The powers that be in both parties like the rules just the way they are.

Exactly, so either side complaining about it is stupid when in a few years will be doing it themselves.
