The Filibuster vs. Democracy: Either Thou or I, or Both, Must Go


Listen Later

Campus Vote Project Student Advisory Board Member Benjamin Nixon sits down with Fair Election Center President and CEO Robert M. Brandon. Bob has a few thoughts on ending the filibuster, the creepily repetitive doom that is voter suppression, Arizona's "Fraudit," and why they should all be struck into oblivion via damnatio memoriae. If you're an anti-civil rights activist, you're not gonna like where this conversation goes. If you're into advancing democracy, well, you're gonna wanna hear this.
