re: #436 Obdicut

I’m curious as to if the use of the filibuster to prevent majority legislation from coming to a vote seems different than a walkout to you, and if so, why.

Filibusters are a part of the process (for better or worse). Further, filibusters do not prevent the parties from negotiating in close quarters. Walkouts are designed to break the process and negotiating from a long distance isn’t the same.

Left unadressed, walkouts will escalate into petty, partisan expressions.
