@AJentleson And, by the powers vested in me by The Ink, I granted @AJentleson three free Senate reforms to save America. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 https://t.co/Eknzf3woDq — PolitiTweet.org

@AJentleson The bad news: the Senate is an intrinsically flawed institution. The good news: There are actually transformational things you could do just by killing the filibuster. D.C. statehood. Puerto Rico statehood. The John Lewis Voting Rights Act. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 https://t.co/9MIeC9RROn — PolitiTweet.org

In addition to killing the filibuster, @AJentleson wants the rules changed so senators actually have to debate on the floor, IRL, to hold up progress. Right now, you can literally email it in. I didn't know about the e-filibuster, and now I'm mad at it. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 — PolitiTweet.org

But, but: Should Democrats be afraid about the shoe getting on the other foot when Republicans control the Senate? No, @AJentleson says. "It’s unwise for Democrats to shortchange themselves on accomplishments now in the hopes of forbearance from Mitch McConnell in the future." https://t.co/Jd2Gp7YZGY — PolitiTweet.org

In other words, the filibuster rose to prominence because a minority of white people realized that democratic, majoritarian rule would fail them. If they wanted to protect white supremacy, they would need to change the rules. That's what you defend if you defend the filibuster. — PolitiTweet.org

@AJentleson We need to talk about the Jim Crow Filibuster. Read @AJentleson explain why it should be called that. Does this history sound familiar in the present day? https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 https://t.co/JKiD4eBf93 — PolitiTweet.org

@AJentleson "We are taught that the Senate was supposed to be a cooling saucer, in the famous metaphor. Instead, it acts as a kill switch, shutting down the democratic process," @AJentleson told me. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 https://t.co/8UrhuYOMJg — PolitiTweet.org

@AJentleson It turns out that James Madison was an architect of the Senate -- and also hated what he wrought. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 https://t.co/uP2bW4y1Fu — PolitiTweet.org

@AJentleson .@AJentleson was a Senate insider. He has been in the (probably musty) rooms where it happens. And he has written a new book, "Kill Switch," with a dire warning about the future of our democracy -- and a plan to rescue it. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 — PolitiTweet.org

Transform the U.S. Senate or watch American democracy die. Those are your choices, and today in The Ink, @AJentleson offers a must-read primer on why. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 — PolitiTweet.org

The filibuster came to be because of white supremacy, and today it gives a resentful white minority the power to thwart social change. If you don’t like white supremacy, ditch the filibuster. https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 — PolitiTweet.org

"There’s no incentive to debate. Debate used to be used to persuade. Today it is used to obstruct. This is part of the filibuster’s inanity." https://t.co/TegPgUXIf2 — PolitiTweet.org

.@TuckerCarlson, this is at least the second time in a year that you’ve aired my ideas and your fear of them. If you’re truly a champion of free speech, give me a call. Maybe we can have a spirited debate on the air. It would benefit America to hear. Unless you’re just posing. — PolitiTweet.org
