Ro has more than a few thoughts about the filibuster. We’ll let his tweets
speak for themselves:

[2]@RoKhanna Mark my words. If we get rid of the filibuster, we will
see *more* bipartisanship on bills, not less.
Ro Khanna [3]Verified @RoKhanna
[4]@RoKhanna The longest filibuster in history belongs to South
Carolina's Strom Thurmond, who spoke for more than 24
hours.
He was trying to prevent the Civil Rights Act of 1957
from passing.
The filibuster is a relic of Jim Crow. It’s undemocratic,
and it needs to go.
Ro Khanna [5]Verified @RoKhanna
[6]@RoKhanna Republicans have filibustered to block popular policies
like:
🇺🇸 civil rights protections
🇺🇸 universal health care
🇺🇸 climate change action
🇺🇸 gun violence prevention
The filibuster doesn't encourage compromise, it
undermines our democracy.

to support Ro and our movement.
From universal health care to gun violence prevention, Mitch McConnell and
the GOP have used the filibuster to block any and everything that will
bring real progress to working families and communities of color.
The filibuster isn’t about broken politics or policies.
This isn’t an accident – the filibuster is doing exactly what John C.
Calhoun, a father of the Confederacy, wanted it to: blocking legislation
that grants Americans their unequivocal human rights.
[ [link removed] ]We must end the filibuster. Chip in what you can today to help support
Ro and the fight to end the filibuster so the Senate can finally pass
progressive legislation.
