Excited to announce the new podcast, Politics the Game,  where we don’t hate the player we hate the game. Join us for a weekly talk about policy and objective solutions to today’s Issues in America. We have fun cutting through the bullshit, so put on your waders and join us.

In this episode, we dive into the Senate Rule known as the Filibuster. With democrats winning the majority in the Senate, the senate is currently in session to pass an organizing resolution to determine rules and committee assignments. We will explore the details of this rule and how it has benefited both parties throughout the years. In addition, we will explore Cloture and how the Filibuster can be defeated. Finally, well dive in and debate the merits of the filibuster.
