    Supermajorities wouldn’t be needed if Democrats weren’t so devoted to the preservation of the Jim Crow Filibuster.

      Just outlier DINOs… Manchin & Sinema fucked Democrats the most on this. At least Democrats have been the only ones who attempted to stop the lazy filibuster threat.

      Good riddance to Manchin and Sinema now that they’re both out of the party.

        Good riddance to Manchin and Sinema now that they’re both out of the party.
