Dean Obeidallah/CNN: This should be the only priority for Democrats
CNN; Opinion by Dean Obeidallah
Updated 7:55 PM ET, Sun July 11, 202 CNN)Democrats from President Joe Biden to the most junior member of Congress must immediately make saving America's democracy their only priority.

4. The pro filibuster segment either relents or democracy will die.
