If you nuke the filibuster and can't pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act or the grant statehood to DC and Puerto Rico or anything else meaningful, then what have you accomplished? Symbolically getting rid of a tool that been used to advance white supremacy? The U.S. Government system has an been advancing white supremacy since the beginning.

Just a few years ago, the Democrats themselves used the filibuster to prevent Trump funding the border wall, limits and bans on abortion, laws forcing sanctuary cities to work with the government. They've used the threat of it to stop laws on defunding Planned Parenthood.

White supremacists are going to use whatever tools that they have available to advance their agenda in this country. So if Democrats want to go ahead and remove the filibuster from the board, they better make sure that the Senate is ready and willing to be proactive and aggressively advance their agenda over the next two years, because otherwise all they've done in give white supremacists another tool.

And yes, Feinstein needs to retire.
