Only white minority rule will do. dchill Jan 2022 #2

The only minority manchin is concerned for is dweller Jan 2022 #3

He's lying, he was fine with changing filibuster for debt ceiling uponit7771 Jan 2022 #4

Didn't Republicans vote for that? AZSkiffyGeek Jan 2022 #7

He wouldn't be fine, he's already said he doesn't want the voter rights bills at this time and right uponit7771 Jan 2022 #14

You dodged the question FBaggins Jan 2022 #28

Nope, Manchin is not CONSITENTLY stating a "bypass" is available for voting rights. This bullshit .. uponit7771 Jan 2022 #30

Not sure where you get that FBaggins Jan 2022 #31

Link and quote, you knew that was coming right ?! tia uponit7771 Jan 2022 #32

What link? FBaggins Jan 2022 #33

Nah, need a link and quote on that. Manchin made that CLEAR multiple times for the last year uponit7771 Jan 2022 #34

Let's see if you understand how this works FBaggins Jan 2022 #35

That's still not a link and quote stating Manchin is for same bypass for voter rights, he needs it.. uponit7771 Jan 2022 #36

Still dodging? FBaggins Jan 2022 #37

Yes I do, Manchin / Sinema have not been straight forward. Now, link and quote? tia uponit7771 Jan 2022 #38

Clicking reply does not mean that you've answered the question. FBaggins Jan 2022 #42

You asked, "Manchin cosponsored those bills. Do you really think that he'll vote "no" on cloture?" uponit7771 Jan 2022 #43

Very well then FBaggins Jan 2022 #44

Matters which cloture it is, he's not been straightforward and I'm sick of the lawyer speak from him uponit7771 Jan 2022 #47

There's only one cloture vote scheduled FBaggins Jan 2022 #48

This message was self-deleted by its author uponit7771 Jan 2022 #49

A meaningful cloture vote in favor of forwarding gating federal voter rights. Not just one for uponit7771 Jan 2022 #50

That's sorta the point FBaggins Jan 2022 #51

And now that you've been proven wrong... FBaggins Jan 2022 #54

So Manchin voted to end BOTH cloture procedures or just one ?! I even called him out on that... uponit7771 Jan 2022 #55

No he didn't LetsGoBiden Jan 2022 #41

This is false, Manchin claimed he didn't want the first H1 bill and cowrote another bill ... uponit7771 Jan 2022 #46

I agree LetsGoBiden Jan 2022 #52

he is a cosponsor on the other VR bill but like changed his mind on HIS BBB 1.8 trillion bill ... uponit7771 Jan 2022 #53

that and he doesn't support black people having an equal vote samsingh Jan 2022 #5

Concerning the topic of the talking filibuster, Manchin is lying. He has indeed changed his mind. Efilroft Sul Jan 2022 #8

there is a HUGE difference between what we are trying to pass as a 'talking filibuster' and then the Celerity Jan 2022 #12

Hmmmm, well make him vote for that then. It'll be a slight step in the right direction and if he ... uponit7771 Jan 2022 #17
