    Default Dem Senators Manchin and Sinema shut Joe Down

    Hours After Biden Calls to Kill Filibuster

    Dem Senators Manchin and Sinema shut Joe Down


    Democrats loved the filibuster until it got in their way. Now, for the umpteenth time, they are wanting to get rid of it so they can do whatever they want.
    But already the two sane Democrats left are shutting Joe down.

    From Townhall:
    According to staff for both Sinema and Manchin, their positions on the filibuster’s importance have not changed since the Supreme Court released the Dobbs opinion or because pro-life trigger laws began to take effect in states nationwide.

    McTurtle will end the filibuster the moment he becomes majority leader.

    He's already admitted to same. I'm sure Manchin and Sinema will support it.

    Exactly, the filibuster rule allows the minority party to affect legislation.

    The Founding Fathers wanted bi-partisanship because they knew it was best for all Americans.

    The Founders did not want the filibuster to be an automatic wrench in the works.

    In fact, filibusters are supposed to entail an actual filibuster.

    The last thing in the world the Democrats should be doing is to end the filibuster. The filibuster is of much more help for the Democrats as it is for the Republicans.

    But...

    Instead of talking about band aide fixes to an obsolete system, we should start over with a modern, parliamentary democracy.
    And we should partition when doing it.

    It isn’t an automatic wrench. It protects the minority which the. Democrats will be, after November.

    Do you support ending the filibuster...after the Republicans take the Congress?

    Good. Stop talking about it and GET THE FUCK OUT. You are like the drunk guy at the party that keeps getting everyones hopes up by talking about going home but never does. LESS talk...MORE do. Pack your shit and hit the bricks.
