.@broomheadKTAR is a two-time Trump voter, staunch conservative and one-time supporter of auditing the 2020 election in Maricopa county. Now, his radio show is a daily recitation of how the effort became a debacle. My story from Phoenix: https://t.co/MarholYCoW

@OurRevMoCoMD @MondaireJones @JoeManchinWV That is exactly my argument. The closer the stakes, the greater the necessity for discussion and debate.

@MondaireJones As many argue, if Senate scrapped filibuster, GOP would finally come to table to negotiate a voting bill with bipartisan support in Senate. @JoeManchinWV has it 100% backwards. By defending GOP filibuster, Manchin ensures there will be no bipartisan compromise. #EndTheFilibuster

Senator Manchin is correct — democracy is special. 

But if he refuses to budge from his position, ours will continue to unravel.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Actually, we’re arguing that we should pass necessary civil rights legislation that is bipartisan *among the people*. Just not with GOP politicians and the billionaires who bankroll them.

By dooming our democracy in the name of bipartisanship, Senator Manchin is betraying both.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

If we introduced H.R.4 and brought it to a vote, it would receive no more than 51 votes — not enough to overcome a filibuster.

And the bill would do nothing about gerrymandering, Big Money in politics, or the damage the GOP has already done in the states.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

That is exactly what we’re facing if we don’t pass the For the People Act: a generation of far-right minority rule by a party hostile to democracy itself.

The #ForThePeopleAct would simply give people the power to choose a better future.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

The filibuster has nothing to do with the Founders. In fact, the Founders specifically rejected the idea of requiring supermajority support for passing laws.

We cannot let this Jim Crow relic cement the new Jim Crow.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Four years and one insurrection later, Democrats have learned that today’s Republican Party poses a mortal threat to our democracy.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Yes.

In any event, only 7 Senate Republicans voted to impeach Trump — not enough to overcome a filibuster.

If there aren’t 10 Republicans willing to investigate an insurrection that almost claimed their lives, there aren’t 10 Republicans willing to protect the right to vote.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Not a single Democrat voted for the 15th Amendment. Did that destroy our republic?

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Only Democrats are having a “debate about how to best protect our right to vote.” State Republicans are ramming through voter suppression laws along party lines. There’s no comparison.

The solution is not to unilaterally surrender. It is to undo the damage.

[Mondaire Jones @MondaireJones]

Sen. Manchin’s op-ed on the #ForThePeopleAct is full of unsound, unserious arguments. 

Let’s unpack it.

Karen Fann is the leader of AZ's conspiracy theorists & insurrectionists. She needs to quit pretending to be a legitimate politician, & media needs to quit treating her like one.
