| I think it's important to establish the difference between the two definitions of the word "minority" that are being used interchangably.
The true definition of minority applies to race. IE, "black people are a racial minority in the US".
A senate minority has nothing to do with the above definition. Here is the definition of a senate minority: "the party that has the lower number of senators in the senate because the people of the US gave their party less votes".
With the last two presidential elections being nearly a 50-50 split, it shows you that there is no such thing as a true party minority. There exist exactly the same number of people in the US who are Democrats as there are Republicans.
A senate minority deserves no special privledges whatsoever! NONE!
The filibuster is a sore loser technique and is simply pathetic. Get rid of it! |
