@radiofreetom tells @Mehdirhasan that Democrats “should absolutely be using their majority to ram through action on things like voting rights, and I’ve even come around on issues like the filibuster, which is destructive to American democracy"

Nice hit, Money Dad! Mehdi is a tough interviewer.

Isn't a lot of the opposition to the voting rights bills around things like campaign financing? If it has to be sharpened to focus more on the structural reforms, I'd do it. GOP are changing state laws to overturn the will of the voters and pick electors.
This is fantastic. I'll have to watch the whole segment.

Nice job both of you. Also add straight forward tax reform. Uber inequity is not conducive to democracy. "But actually" you are on the same page. 👏👏👏👏👏
When will people accept the fact that there is no Democratic majority in the Senate?

It's not Democrats, though, it's just Manchin and Sinema. 90% of Dems are on board, but unfortunately, that isn't enough.
Tom's retiring from his teaching position at the Naval War College, maybe the DNC can give him a call and ask him to help them get their stuff together. He's pretty much spot on as to what the focus should be in the short-term.
