The claim that the filibuster rule promotes bipartisanship flies in the face of the reality we witness every day. In fact, the filibuster has become a partisan political weapon & each day we maintain this undemocratic rule we prevent our democracy from working as it was intended. https://t.co/rVE8dTAcvp — PolitiTweet.org

All of us prefer to find common ground to meet our challenges when we can. But let's not kid ourselves about the ability of the 60 vote filibuster requirement to promote bipartisanship. The rule is now used for obstruction not cooperation. https://t.co/oxIj9iOMhP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. McConnell just cited James Madison to defend the rule allowing 41 of 100 senators to stop a majority from voting on the #FreedomtoVoteAct. He should read these words by Madison in Federalist 58, opposing such provisions: https://t.co/OayTlrAsZN — PolitiTweet.org
