The goddamned Senate is a disgrace to democracy, it is a stumble-block to good government, it is a constant attack on We The People, our common good, our lives.
The goddamned Republicans like their predecessors in the Dixicratic faction that joined them as soon as Democrats started serious moves towards racial equality have used the anti-democratic features embedded in the goddamned Constitution to allow them to thwart democracy, equality, the common good.
If any Democrat thwarts the movement to get rid of the filibuster and that pro-elite anti-equality, anti-democratic atrocity the sad fact that the Republicans still control the goddamned Senate is the real reality we live under. If that has Joe Manchin's name as a defacto Republican then that's the reality of it. If he doesn't like that he can start acting like a Democrat who really isn't a Republican. If he chooses to join the Republicans and throw control of the goddamned Senate to Mitch McConnell and Lindsay Graham, he will at least make it clear that Democrats aren't to blame for the results.
