If Democrats refuse to get rid of the filibuster then Republican efforts to suppress and nullify votes will basically cancel our democracy and turn us into a full on autocratic state. #ForThePeopleAct #EndTheFilibusterNow

I respect you greatly, but I'm still lost by this stance on the #filibuster. #Democrats aren't going to change a process they have profited from over decades. #ForThePeopleAct #EndTheFilibuster #Progressive #USA #sundayvibes

That’s what democracy means. People with different and opposing ideas are compelled to hash it out, compromise, and negotiate without one side cramming down decisions on the other. All sides get a voice and a vote. Otherwise we devolve into an autocracy and those end badly.

And if Republicans win back the Senate, you know McConnell will have NO problem removing the filibuster if it suits them. Dems need to stop being so damn afraid that Republicans calling them radicals! Republicans are the radicals! Dems are in control! Now is the time to be BOLD.

Only two Democrats are refusing to get rid of filibuster. But are those two really Democrats?

If we aren't in the streets we aren't really pressuring.
