Rep. Clyburn (D-SC) On Filibuster History, Voting Rights Act | Ayman Mohyeldin | MSNBC
No more Filibuster.
No more Electoral College.
No more BLM, IT SUCKS
We know you’re a commie narrative defending POS for MSNBS
@DAVID Who’s “we”, david? You have a mutant miniacture russian carnival barker in your pocket or just a soul-connection to 70 million bleating sheep?
@Biden Sucks sure, racist sewage!
Vote every Republican out
The Republicans are trying to hurt the American People instead of helping them especially people of color Black, Brown, Native American, Asian etc.
Right now congress looks like an old marks brothers song whatever it is iam against it
brilliantly said, ty all. yes, it is past time.
you democrats look weird if biden is the best you can do. he looks like something out of a tales from the crypt movie.
russian trolls are just so pathetic.
@Darryl Davis russian trolls are just so pathetic.
@Timothy Johnson you’re the communist democrat troll. you believe in stolen elections and think it’s good. Bernie had it stolen from him 2 times in a row cause he’s too much of a communist for the rich democrats.
@Darryl Davis Yes you are I’m happy that you know that.
I have faith that Joe Biden will not let these injustices to voting rights succeed.
There are no injustices. that is a LIE by all of you demons. The rules are to stop the CHEATING
It’s great to learn about the original use of the Filibuster. Yepppp Biden knows what he’s doing and how this job can be done. 🌊
There are no injustices. That is a LIE by all of you demons. The rules are to stop the CHEATING
@Darryl Davis What cheating?
There is clearly voter suppression everything needs to be done to stop the suppression.
“What next? Libs are going to say the Electoral College is racist too?!?” – actual post I saw on FB today.
🤦🤷
This ungodly country is, demonic at it best
Sure, alex. Jones wannabe troll!
Them southern states that are suppressing voters rights we need to send in the national guard to make sure everyone can cast their vote like they did in the 1960s to protect civil rights.
When has the use of the filibuster ever changed the outcome of a Senate vote? Never.
Biden needs to come out and advocate for abolishing the filibuster. Manchin and Sinema need to stop siding with the insurrectionists and remember what it’s like to act like an American again.
How can a policy that allows the will of 40% frustrate the desire of 59% of representation exist in a democracy? is the government of the people reflect their will of the Majority of the people, or is it undeserved privilege gained by nepotism and elitism?
Who’s senate it is? the people who pay for it or the senators who are paid to serve?
WHO is Mitch McConnel if he is not a public servant paid to implement the will of the MAJORITY?
and finally, shouldn’t Howley, Cruz and Mcconnel be charged with evil sedation and being of the human form of life, hung drawn and quartered and cooked? then reprimanded! (maybe u should add Mark Elliot Zuckerberg to that list)
The Majority Voted for Trump. It was stolen by the governemnt. You dems are STUPID. You just follow the crowd. Bernie won but you clowns let the government pick the guy.
@Darryl Davis Nope, the majority _did not_ vote for trump. You cannot tell us how we voted. We know how we voted. You just do not want to accept the fact that you backed the losing horse.
It’s ridiculous that a minority party can control legislation by denying a democratic vote on a law. Denying change is most of the time what republicans are trying to accomplish, therefore they can get what they want by doing nothing. The filibuster must go.
There are no injustices. That is a LIE by all of you demons. The rules are to stop the CHEATING
@Darryl Davis Stfu clown
Make no mistake, with voter suppression not only is it against the civil rights of voters but republicans are attempting again to install a one party dictatorship like their failed attempt on the 6th
There are no injustices. That is a LIE by all of you demons. The rules are to stop the CHEATING
it’s 2021 and whites in one party is attempting again to take away voting rights of blacks. Democrats and independents should be angry because it’s causing a drastic unbalance of power towards a party that won’t satisfy the wants of the majority in the nation. That is a dictatorship
There are no injustices. That is a LIE by all of you demons. The rules are to stop the CHEATING
@Darryl Davis you’re a paid-troll cut/pasting the same thing over and over to every progressive comment. Whatever pennies you’re paid outside the US, we know you’re fake. You’re not part of the debate, you’re a loon, a money-grubber, maybe both, but definitely a troll, not part of the conversation. We see you.
@alioxinfree you’re the paid troll. you elected an 80 year old to run the Country. you’re so stupid. He’s a rude 80 year old too. biden is senile just like you. You’re a communist troll.
Let’s be honest here we’re looking for results on voting rights and civil rights issues. We’re not asking for something unjustified. Taxation while limiting voter participation is illegal and evil. We expect this Administration to get this done. I support President Biden and the manner in which he wants to get this done. Just do it!
Manchin is on-record for reform. Senator Sinema needs to go on-record to agree to Filibuster Reform: end both the 60-to-vote AND 60-to-pass, make it only a talking-filibuster (not a no-show email objection) that ends when the senators stop talking. You have to be on-camera defending your minority position, and every bill needs to be voted on after the minority gets to have their say.
The disgusting voting laws just passed in GA shows just how low and evil Republicans will go to suppress black voter rights. Shameful. And btw I’m white and so disgusted!!
No one cares about your race lamo
Wait a minute, if republicans had all the power and said no more filibuster what would you guys think?
The John Lewis Voting Rights Act must be passed again as it was in 1965. John Roberts was wrong. Its needed now more than ever.
