I don't say this lightly. We are witnessing the greatest roll back of voting rights in this country since the Jim Crow era. I appreciate the desire for bipartisanship, but Manchin and Sinema need to understand that history will not look kindly upon their filibuster defensehttps://twitter.com/AriBerman/status/1364612325483966464 …
The filibuster is an accident created when Senate rules were updated in the 1800s. It is not in the constitution. For a long time it was rarely used (and then to block civil rights legislation). The Senate was not "designed" to have a supermajority required for policy votes
One political party is for democracy. The other is opposed. It spreads conspiracy theories about the election and looks away at violent insurrection. It enacts legislation to suppress votes, a legal way to more respectfully do what Capitol Police killers were unable to do
It is hard to imagine what bipartisanship is supposed to look like when the two political parties are so separated on the basic functioning of democracy
Because they are scared. And it will backfire. When they can rollback TIME, thats when I'll worry. As long as time keeps moving?* They'll keep losing. The country is changing, and they are fearful that there is NOTHING they can do about it.* Heightened by a black female VP.*
This is not true. They've been tremendously successful at rolling back and interfering with voting for more than two decades now. @TheDemocrats have stood by, watching, doing almost nothing to stop it. The party needs to punch back 10 harder
They don't care. Manchin and Sinema are in Congress to serve themselves not the country.
So make a deal with them. Schumer can’t just throw up his hands and say, “they said no”. He needs to do everything in his power to get the results he wants...ya know, like the GOP does.
@JonMunitz totally pertinent to today's @peoplesbasics podcast
At minimum reduce Requirement to 55
Cc: @SenatorSinema and @JoeManchinWV please do not allow our democracy to crumble bc of a Jim Crow era rule. We need you.
