@BrendanNyhan the filibuster doesn't intrinsically protect or undermine democracy. in the book, the filibuster protects democracy by making it harder for the GOP to rollback voting rights. it's just the flip side of why Dems want to get rid of it — PolitiTweet.org

This has created all kinds of oddities about this process, like the head blaming the tail for not knowing how to get to where it needs to go (even though tail doesn't have a brain or eyes) and now tail blaming the head for ineffectual wagging, even though tail is the one wagging — PolitiTweet.org

@BrendanNyhan yes, though you're not actually saying they got it wrong--unless you're saying there's zero risk that the GOP restrict voting rights without the filibuster. you're just saying you'd rather be a first mover, which is totally defensible but does require grappling with downside risk — PolitiTweet.org
