william chaney. we're talking about the fundamental right having our vote not diluted and not in any way impeded by what we're seeing going on in 47 states, and that's what we said to senator manchin today. and to say that the process of trying to preserve the filibuster, which we talked about today, has in itself a racist beginning that is what the filibuster has been used for, to use process over what the country is supposed to stand for, when you have the vice president of the united states preaching democracy down in mexico and central america, is, in my opinion, absurd. i think that we wanted to make it clear to him as he says we will continue talking, but we want to also talk to others in the senate, because jose williams and john lewis and others that forfeited this, we are the children or the second generation behind that and must preserve the right to vote and we're not going to back up in anyway, shape or form on that
