Ever wonder why the U.S. can’t seem to pass any meaningful legislation to regulate assault weapons or mandate universal background checks? It’s because of an “F” word that’s being used in the Senate to endlessly delay voting on a bill. The word is FILIBUSTER and whether you’re interested in the nuances involved in our nation’s government or not, it’s important to understand a bit about what a filibuster is, how it came about, and what it might take to move beyond it. That’s what Gabi and Joanne will be talking about this week on All the F Words. That and how and why some of us just aren’t willing to compromise; why winning seems to be all that matters.
