The US did a very unusual thing when it voted out an aspiring autocrat despite huge obstacles (voter suppression, threats to officials, attempted coup, etc). But if the Dems do not abolish the filibuster and protect voting rights, the next US election will vote autocracy back in.
@sarahkendzior TBH, I have absolutely no faith the Dems will abolish the filibuster.
@sarahkendzior @benFranklin2018 Makes me wonder why it’s not obvious to Senate Democrats that a society cannot vote it’s way back to being a democracy.
@sarahkendzior That’s a given. We need fair elections!
@sarahkendzior This is scarier than Stephen King’s scariest work.
@sarahkendzior We must abolish the filibuster and be extremely bold — like our lives depended on it. The slide is happening.

@sarahkendzior And that will be all she wrote for democracy.
