Loser Democrats fail at filibuster reform

[AOC]

They did try

Manchin and Sinema blocked it because their corporate overlords didn't want it.

Plus they aren't accountable to anyone in West Virginia and Arizona, they don't fear getting primaried.

At least that's the case with Manchin.

 

[AOC]

Good luck winning anything nationally going third party.

But with a 3rd Party she can continue to fuck over the Democrats.

All they care about is lowering taxes on the rich and creating a theocracy. Fine with me, because I’m a dumb dumb.

FTFY

Democrats never had fifty votes.

Our government is a joke. Both parties only give a shit about staying in office and making as much $$$ as possible.

I hope they pass that stock trading bill, even though there’s virtually zero chance that happens

Don't worry it will get watered down after the election

Thread that apparently Sinema believes she'll win the presidency in 2024 as the 'middle lane' candidate. It's crazy if true.

I would sooner vote for a republican than vote for that dumb cunt because of the shit she's been pulling.

It's the base that is wrong, not the do-nothing centrists.

Came here to post this. Dems are such a bunch of pathetic losers.

 

[black jesus]

It might be interesting to remind Sinema and Manchin that AZ and WV's GOP controlled state legislatures will probably toss the votes of Democratic voting districts if needed without election reform.

I wonder if Sinema thinks this shit is good for her career like she's going to be seen as a maverick or something, or if she's just gonna retire and go work for some right-wing thinktank.

VICE News talked to more than a dozen Arizona Democratic activists and former staffers who actively worked to elect Sinema during her 2018 race. Many expressed their frustration not just with her voting record but also with her inaccessibility, her seeming delight at infuriating her party’s base, and her unwillingness to meet. All said that they’d likely vote against her in a primary if she runs in 2024.

Keeping the 60 vote threshold.

Keeping the 60 vote threshold.

Did you believe that was true when the rules were changed to confirm Supreme Court Justices?

Yes. Harry Reid fucked up.

 

[westheimer]

Yes. Harry Reid fucked up.

Lol no he didn't. A 60 vote threshold is great if it's genuinely prompting debate and consensus building; Mitch McConnel was holding seats open for the sole purpose of holding them open. Candidates weren't even being debated or brought before the committee. Harry Reid got rid of it because the judiciary would have had hundreds of empty seats had he not. Mitch McConnel got rid of it to cram through one nominee with no input from moderate Democrats.

This isn't a "both sides are bad" issue. Republicans were abusing the filibuster to stack the courts and have acted in bad faith with respect to judicial nominations for the past 5-10 years.
