Democracy or one party dictatorship? |
|
I can't help but feel if the republicans go "nuclear", which requires breaking Senate rules and having the Vice President then interpret Senate rules, technically we would become a one party dictatorship (especially since they will seize the courts in a manner of speaking). It just doesn't seem to square with a democracy where more more than one voice is allowed. Am I wrong?

but "we" are already there. These "skirmishes" about the court or other things are merely theater.
Welcome to "reality."

4. Somewhat, but not technically |

in that right now, this course could be reversed. Once they go nuclear, it will become difficult, even with democratic party victories in the next elections.
