100 experts: Democracy is in grave danger

We know that to save it the Senate must pass the For the People Act. And to do that the filibuster has to be completely eliminated. The experts:

"Now, in a striking intervention, more than 100 scholars of democracy have signed a new public statement of principles that seeks to make the stakes unambiguously, jarringly clear: On the line is nothing less than the future of our democracy itself.

The problem though:

"But it remains unclear whether 50 Senate Democrats will ever prove willing to reform or end the filibuster, and more to the point, whether Biden will put real muscle behind that cause. If not, such protections will never, ever pass."

And democracy will be flushed down the toilet. No exaggeration or hyperbole.
