Sinema and every senator should support ending the filibuster for the voting rights bill,\u201d he said. \u201cTo keep the Jim Crow filibuster while losing some of these basic voting rights that are central to our democracy is preposterous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Woods was equally critical of Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV), who has also stated he would not kill the filibuster.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-list-component yr-content-list-text text\" readability=\"42\">\n<p>\u201cSen. Sinema should know that, so should Sen. Manchin,\u201d Woods said. \u201cAt the end of the day, I\u2019m very hopeful that they\u2019ll come around and do the right thing. But if they don\u2019t, then I don\u2019t think they belong in the Senate anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet on Thursday, Grant Woods said refusing to break the \u201cJim Crow filibuster\u201d should be a senator\u2019s last vote.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"content-list-component yr-content-list-text text\" readability=\"37\">\n<p>\u201cAt the end of the day, if you don\u2019t vote to protect voting rights and save our democracy by breaking the Jim Crow filibuster, it should be your last vote as a United States Senator.

The way to fix that is to change your behavior, not to eliminate the rules or change the rules, but to change your behavior,\u201d Sinema added.\u00a0\u201cSo I\u2019m going to continue to go to work every day, aggressively seeking bipartisanship in a cheerful and happy warrior way, as I always do, and showing that when we work together, we can get things done.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"content-list-component yr-content-list-text text\" readability=\"40.796973518285\">\n<p>Despite his unwillingness to kill the filibuster, Manchin has not exactly cozied up with his Republican colleagues.
