Post: “Because the filibuster makes Congress sclerotic and useless. Kill the filibuster, and we can stop trying to rule the country by executive order.

Okay, this one is baffling to me. Context is predictably heated discussion about US government in modern times. But why this violates community standards, I still don’t know. Was it because I used the word “kill?” Because I impugned the utility of Congress (Facebook, dears, I know you have a hard job, but I can’t fathom how it could be considered even surprising speech when someone calls a government branch with a 31% approval rating “sclerotic and useless”)? Because I suggested that the executive was ruling by EO because Congress can’t do its job?

A real head-scratcher, this one.
