"The Jim Crow filibuster" is the message Dems should be pounding on. Some are.
That's not spin. It's just fact. It's why it exists. It's how it's been most memorably used.
Anyway, this @AriBerman piece on the fight over #HR1, "the most significant democracy reform bill since the Voting Rights Act of 1965," one that will inevitably also be a debate over the Jim Crow filibuster, is essential reading: motherjones.com/politics/2021/…
HR1 reforms would be good for the whole country, red and blue, esp independent redistricting and restraints on money in politics.
No one cares to play the long game, if the short game increases their power. But without reform we slide away from any claim to be a democracy
