AOC Dismantles Kyrsten Sinema's Crap Argument In Defending The Filibuster

[Icono Classless Jerk]

"Oooh, but what if the GOP wins back Congress??" What if Manchin and Sinema grow a FUCKING spine? Such "boldness" would be the best defense against a Republicoot resurgence, 'cause shit would be getting done!

1. If we pass good voting rights protections

And enact popular legislation we will

Keep the majority

[Escurumbele]

2. You are 1000% correct, and I know we cannot go past 100%, but I will break that with your comment

That is correct, Democrats will continue to win if those bills are passed and people see improvements in their lives, the middle class becomes a middle class again.

But lets face it, Sinema is an air head, it is difficult to deal with people like that, it is the job of her constituents to let her know how wrong she is, so when she sees the danger of loosing her sit, she will change course.

7. If her constituents do what you say, she WILL lose her seat, and a republican will take it.

4. And Republicans know it.

It's why they cheat.

[George II]

3. Remember, both Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are DEMOCRATS, two of 50 total Democratic Senators.

5. And not the only ones opposing killing the filibuster

THey're just taking the heat.

[George II]

6. Exactly. There was a vote a few weeks ago with 6 other Democrats joining Manchin and Sinema.....

It's not all in their laps.

8. The GOP will ditch the filibuster first chance they get if they regain the majority.

Like they did when when it came to their #1 priority, packing the courts. They want to pass draconian nationwide voter suppression bills so they can stay in power. Georgia made that a priority for them. The filibuster is history whether Dems make it history now or not. They only question is will it be discarded now, or when the GOP regains the majority. So why not discard it now, so we can get some good legislation passed and inspire voters to vote for us again....and make it so they are ABLE to vote for us again.

People expected the Dems in Congress would ditch the filibuster once they regained the majority, especially after we saw how the GOP abused the filibuster under Obama. It is really frustrating that they have not ditched it yet. Time's a wastin'!
