I won't mince words: If Manchin and Sinema don't get on board with ending the filibuster, this will be their legacy.
All across country Republicans weaponizing Trumps lies to make it harder to vote. This is one of most disgusting things Ive ever seen & underscores why Dems must urgently pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act & For the People Act to stop voter suppression
253 new voting restrictions introduced in 43 states so far this year finds @BrennanCenter
Dems can keep Jim Crow filibuster & allow GOP to pass explosion of Jim Crow 2.0 laws
Or they can eliminate filibuster & pass John Lewis Voting Rights Act & For the People Act
Voter suppression bills introduced by Georgia Republicans:
-ends Sunday voting when Black churches do Souls to Polls
-ends no excuse mail voting used by 1.3 million in 2020
-requires witness signature AND photocopy of ID for mail ballots
"Jim Crow with suit and tie"

If others are against it, they have not voiced it.
