Why isn’t Joe Biden doing all he can to protect American democracy?
You’d think Biden and the Democratic party leadership would do everything in their power to stop Republicans from undermining democracy.

In fact, Biden now says he won’t take on the filibuster, which stands firmly in the way.
In recent years these wealth supremacists, as they might be called, have quietly joined white supremacists to become a powerful anti-democracy coalition.
