TDS is running big here,,,,I bet these DemonTards dont even know why they support a bloodthirsty party that is trying to get us into a war in IRAN and UKRAINE, I thought DemoRats were anti-war ? Any idiot can watch u tube vids showing the dirty racist history of the democrat party; KKK, Jim Crow, Lynching,,,, Slavery,,,,,It was the Republicans that freed the slaves and the REPUBLICANS were resonsible for the passage of the 1964 civil rights act; the Democrats filibustered the bill for 60 days to try to prevent passage.
According to Senate history, the issue was moved for consideration on March 9, 1964, when “Southern senators launched a filibuster against the bill,” with debates lasting 60 days.
Once the bill reached the Senate, Purdum described Southern Democrats as leading filibuster efforts, including Sens. Russell Long of Louisiana, Strom Thurmond of South Carolina, Herman Talmadge of Georgia, John McClellan of Arkansas and Richard Russell of Georgia.
“Since Southern Democrats opposed the legislation, votes from a substantial number of senators in the Republican minority would be needed to end the filibuster,” the site states.
Who holds the record for the longest filibuster? Recently a claim has made the rounds: "In 1964, on the floor of the U.S. Senate, Democrats held the longest filibuster in our nations history, 75 days. All trying to prevent the passing of one thing. The Civil Rights Act."
The only DIXIECRAT (Democrat) that switched parties in Nixons Southern Strategy was Strom Thurmond, so NO THE SOUTHERN STRATEGY was bs. Democrats were just trying to hide their despicable past.
