country that will suffer if democracy goes in peril. so what could the president be doing differently then? what other actions do you think he should be taking because obviously a president can only do so much? congress has to make the laws, and we just heard from joe manchin he s not willing to make changes right now to the process that would allow these laws to go into effect under a simple majority? well, one, we need the president to call out joe manchin and kyrstin sinema directly and demand that they protect the right to vote, demand that they protect the democracy that we all know, demand that they restore the senate. we re not simple police asking for there to be a blowup of the filibuster. we re simply asking for them to restore the integrity of the senate and restore the integrity of our democracy because we know that the filibuster itself hasn t even always been a part
