We knew this about Democrats but to see a blue-check admit it? Dang.
Oh, we know what they were trying to do as they pretend they’re some unbiased organization that only cares about stopping corruption in government. They were implying since Republicans wish to keep the filibuster in place that they’re big ol’ racists representing a mostly-white minority.
Except it’s not Republicans who have used the filibuster over 300 times in the last four years.
So either they’re admitting Democrats are the problem OR they’re giant, biased, hacks.
Your weekly Sunday reminder that the filibuster is rooted in racism and has been primarily used to advance the interests of a mostly-white minority while stopping important legislation like voting rights protections. It's time to abolish the filibuster once and for all.

Funny, we didn’t see these sorts of tweets when Republicans had the majority.
Wonder why that is.
The racist filibuster was used 327 times by Democrats in 2020 alone, glad you're admitting your roots.https://t.co/8H7sx7FgEl

SO VERY RACIST!
Since @TheDemocrats used it over 300 times recently, they are racist?
— James Whomever (@JamesWhomever) September 27, 2021
Yup.
That’s what they said.
Why weren't you idiots crying when Democrats were using the filibuster?

So democrats were racist how many times in the last 4 years?

You’re lying filth. You wouldn’t know ethics if it was rubbing a herpes rash into your beard

Eek.
Not a great visual.
But fitting.
