Topic	President Joe Manchin, on legislation to expand voting rights
Antifar 06/06/21 10:44:43 AM #14:	Doe posted... Libs need to move on from "Joe Manchin/ sinema / the next senator in line is the reason our country isn't perfect" to understanding American "democracy" functions this way as a result of how it was designed 250 years ago The current use of the filibuster basically didn't exist 25 years ago; there is no mention of it at all 250 years ago. I agree that the senate is a fucked institution, but it was markedly less fucked before 60 votes became the threshold all legislation must meet. --- kin to all that throbs <cite>Antifar posted [p:954703234] in President ...
