Manchin argues that abolishing the filibuster would go against how the Founding Fathers conceived of the Senate.

At some point, the party that believes in democracy has to offer concrete solutions at the scale of the deepening political crisis before it's too late. Less talk of "healing," and more talk of reform. — PolitiTweet.org

There are several political reforms (reforming the Senate, moving the House toward a more proportional system through ranked-choice voting and multi-member districts, and abolishing the Electoral College) that would address this and likely break up the Republican Party. — PolitiTweet.org
