@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

@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

@BrendanNyhan (and it's that cost-benefit analysis that i don't see anyone actually making, even though i don't think it's very hard. instead i see people saying some version of 'the gop has no 60 vote legislative agenda' on nondemocracy issues like taxes) — PolitiTweet.org
