(4,039 posts)Please point me to the part of the Reich tweet that "criticized our leaders for not removing filibuster."
He did not point to any person or party. He did not name names.
He stated, correctly, that the filibuster stands in the way of a number of things that we all want--even you.
The responding tweet called out Manchin and Sinema, who, if not the major obstacles to filibuster reform, are certainly the face of it. But those are not Reich's words, and do not "criticize our leaders," unless you consider Manchin and Sinema our leaders. If that is the case, I'm going to have to strongly disagree.
You, as do many others, claim that there's a horde of democratic senators who agree with Manchin and Sinema. Problem is, you can't tell me who they are, they haven't stated their support, and the only evidence for their existence is your say so.
In short, you're putting words in Reich's mouth and justifying it. because of a grudge you hold against him. At least you are clear about your motivations. I have to give you that.
