    During Jim Crow, civil rights bills had majority support in the House & Senate, and 60% pubic support. Anti-lynching bills had majority support in the South. The filibuster killed them. Back then, *only* civil rights bills were regularly forced to clear a supermajority threshold.https://twitter.com/baseballcrank/status/1381686564531679233 …

    If you think pure majoritarianism is paramount, as @jonathanchait seems to imply we should, ask yourself how popular Jim Crow laws were in states with white supermajorities of the population.

        even if it were true that a majority supported Jim Crow in its entirety, you can't say its majoritarianism when its predicated on not including the input of millions of african americans

        Anti-lynching laws had majority support in the south during Jim Crow? Really?

        Yes. But not within the power structure.

        Okay. Now do sodomy laws. If you don't like the example, fine. I can come up with plenty of others. It's not hard if you put some intellectual curiosity behind it!

        All these arguments against democracy are perversely anti-historic. “We can’t let black people vote, because if everyone got to vote the people could democratically bring back slavery.”
