That’s also a load of bulkshit.

The filibuster is what the minority is using to throttle democracy.

He’s got it backwards - filibuster is antidemocratic. It is the tyranny of the minority. And the moment GOP regains control, they’re ending it to preserve power indefinitely.

Once again, Manchin gets the point of the filibuster backwards.

It’s entirely antidemocratic. It’s a tyranny of the minority and the whole purpose was to deny rights and protections during the 20th Century to slow the civil rights movement.

Now, it’s being used to deny women agency over their own bodies, to limit the damage the GOP and Trump did in the judiciary, and prevent expanding rights and protections to those who actually need it.
