Kamala Harris' latest ploy to concentrate government power has led to a rebuke from a member of the US Senate's Democrat caucus.  Harris announced she wanted to nuke the fillibuster for issues imortant to her.  Realizing the importance of this check on unlimited power in our democracy., Senator Joe Manchin of West Virginia has blasted Harris' proposal, saying "Shame on her" and announcing that he will refuse to support her.  Manchin called the fillibuster "the holy grail of democracy."

Another member of the Democrat Senate caucus, Sen. Kristin Sinema of Arizona also blasted Harris' postion on the fillibuster, calling Harris' position "a dangerous shortsighted policy".

The attack on the fillibuster is just one of the Biden-Harris Democrat attacks on the checks and balances that make our democratic form of government work fairly.  Another major attack they have proposed is castrating our US Supreme Court.  The Democrats are the party that is threatening our democracy.

What Biden did, and there is a lawsuit filed by the state of Missouri over it, was to use the aura of the White House and government to dictate to social media companies what they had to censor on their sites. That is a massive attack on free speech. Biden and Harris also tried to set up a "Disinformation Governance Board" for the same purpose, but there was so much pushback against that attack on the 1st Amendment that he cancelled it.

Completely made up. I’m free to say the sky is red, however it isn’t. It’s blue. Calling me out when I lie and say it’s red isn’t an attack on speech.

MAGA- detached from reality

Biden - Harris attacks on free speech have been multi-faceted ranging from pushing social media to censor certain viewpoints, trying to set up what Orwell called a "Ministry of Truth" with their failed Disinfomration Control Board, and funding foreign organizations promotign censorship of political speech in their own countries like Brasil.

Democrats attack intellectually challenged idiots, not free speech.

Democrats are all in for dictatorship, which is why they attack free speech and why they try to dismantle all the checks and balances in our government. Them calling Trump a dictator would be about like Hitler calling the British government a dictaroship. It is laughable on its face, but the partisan Democrat MSM just keeps trying to foist that bit of nonsense on Americans.
