Pod Save America: Democracy vs. The Filibuster
The title says it all...
These guys used to work for Obama, and their hair is on fire about the cataclysmic effect on American democracy if HR1 fails and the filibuster stands. Lots of important info along with sounding the alarm, in the second half of the video (first half is about COVID relief).
These are some of the folks who are adamant that Republicans will control all three branches of government for a decade or longer if HR1 doesn’t pass- they know their stuff.
Interesting tidbit:
There are 253 recently passed or pending voter suppression bills in 43 states...
