In this interview Adam Jentleson discusses his new book Kill Switch about how the filibuster "started as a tool of Southern senators upholding slavery, and then later was used as a tool to block civil rights legislation. The book concludes with Senator Mitch McConnell's advances in the use of filibuster as an obstructionist tool."
As noted below that is its only purpose, so if we ever have any hope of getting anything done for we the people than it must go. We must pressure Biden to support it and force Manchin, Tester and Sinema to do so too. We simply cannot afford any more obstruction to help us, for we are literally suffering horribly and dying every day because of this instrument of genocidal fascism.
