32. +1, problem is Manchin isn't the ONLY person wanting to keep the filibuster he's just the face of it

... right now.

Democrats think republicans will act in America's best interest when they get back in power, they wont.

They will get rid of the filibuster and gut every voter law that exist right now and then right before elections vote back in the filibuster just incase they lose.

Kremlin McCarthy and Moscow Mitch is the person who enabled Putin's Whore and they're still around, the treason has ***NOT*** left the building.
