Senator Warren: Filibuster Gives McConnell A Veto Over Democratic Majority | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC
Then get rid of the filibuster! You didn’t see the Republicans saying “let’s work together on this” while Trump was in office, they just changed things to benefit themselves. Dems just need to stomp on Republicans the way they did to them when Democrats were in the minority.
When will the Sheeple quit claiming there’s any difference between the two parties?
@Chuck Collins the majority of the population are of lower IQ just like the majority of the population are poor. Just fruit in a basket
@K S They are both in fairly red states and both won their election by a couple percent. There is a decent chance if either of them was recalled you would end up with a Republican in their place.
@Highly Medicated Perhaps the fruit needs to start only having children they can afford. 😉
@xxkildarxx vote them out
One of these days, Democrats will realize that they’re the only ones playing by the rules.
@Chuck Collins and yet you adamantly espouse republican propaganda through your new puppet account
More proof of republican deception and lies, always harping about “both parties” while continuing to tow the party line
Sowing sedition
@Aaron Hawley * yawn * I’m not beholden to either political party. Silly Sheeple. B-b-b-but…you’re a “Republican”.
@Aaron Hawley But feel free to cite exactly what qualifies as “Republican propaganda”. Be specific.
@Chuck Collins you know anyone reading this can read your other comments right?
If you weren’t beholden to one party, you would be criticizing both and not focused exclusively on Fox News talking points
Such wit
@Aaron Hawley As i stated both parties are the same…oops. Such obtuseness.
So git rid of it, stop talking about it and fking do it!
@Chuck Collins lol, coming from the people trying to cancel Republicans who didn’t vote down the party line in impeachment.
@Dan S. Gosh, you mean there’s no difference between either party? 😉
@Chuck Collins Actually, there is. No one within the democratic party is demanding that those who go against party line resign.
@Fred A You mean there’s not factions within the Democratic Party looking to fund challengers to usurp Manchin and Sinema? Oops. There’s no difference between the parties…
@Fred A B-b-b-but….Democrats good! Republicans bad!
President Biden doesn’t disparage Minorities and Women. He respects working professionals and treats them with dignity.
@Leonard Shepard disgusting thought indeed.
ignorant ……..
Heck yeah!
so how does that get rid of the filibuster? Just more hot air
Mitch McConnell, the same man who condemned Trump for the Capitol riots right on the senate chamber, then when asked a week later if he would support the orange goon if he ran in 2024 said that he WOULD. The hypocrisy is beyond me.
Hypocrisy of biblical proportions.
You must be new to politics.
And Trump 2024. 🇺🇲
McConnell actually said he would support Trump if Trump is nominated. That’s not the same as supporting Trump if Trump runs.
I still don’t understand why America has these stupid rules and laws that end up coming back to bite them
Stupid is as stupid gets
Actually, there are good reasons for these rules. And in the past, they served the country well. Foreign policy is already suffering by the country’s inability to maintain a steady course and keep to a plan. God knows what is in store when legislation gets reversed every time the ruling party loses a majority. Could be that this is a better situation than what we now find ourselves in. Getting things done only have them undone in the next session of Congress might be better than getting NOTHING done. But this eliminating the filibuster is nothing to enter into lightly.
Kermit T. Frog all I see is Republicans using these laws to disenfranchise or disadvantage the American people
Note that I said the American people which means Republicans are disadvantaging other Republicans also. I like that you acknowledge that they used to work in the past. Time for change is now
@Tseleng Botlhole You have to be more specific than “these laws.” The Voters Rights Act was defanged by the SUPREME COURT. If you are saying that NEW legislation needs to be enacted to counter this. I agree. Though, the wish lists I see from most liberals seldom mention voter suppression.
@Kermit T. Frog EXACTLY!
Sounds very simple…in a sensible normal functioning country!
The filibuster needs to go. Dems need to stop being weak and treat republicans the way the treated them when they were in control.
If only they got rid of it 3yrs ago.😨
Oh wait.
Quit lying to yourself that there’s any difference between either party.
Democrats voted Joe Biden and watch MSNBC 😂😂😂😂😂
Come on the way Republicans treated democrats? Works both ways. Been that way for a long time.. IT will never change.. Sad…
@pet boy Yeah, Democrats are insane with their kumbaya bs. They went through 12 years of McTurtle and they still haven’t had enough. He could steal their souls and they’d still accommodate him.
Mitch is a pest to America politics get rid of him. His wife is a billionaire after they both clean out transport contracts in federal funds
Your right ate, he is an obstacle to progress.
Can you PLEASE stop giving us mere MINUTES of Rachel Maddow?!! I promise you, playing whole blocks of her, and your other shows, will keep your viewing numbers up on YouTube IF you just make them easier to find!!! Who is running your YouTube channel?!! Someone who hates the platform?!!! SORT IT OUT!!!
You want more Rachel 😂😂😂😂
Umm she has a whole show on MSNBC. YouTube is known for this it’s nothing new
@Highly Medicated thank you, but she is known world-wide in places where MSNBC isn’t accessible. Listening to her show on Spotify is difficult because she often has very useful visual aids as well.
@elroy the great always…
Mitch McConnell is a joke! He needs to go home and retire!
And you watch Rachel and like Pocahontas 😂😂😂😂😂
Mitch is good at the game….thoughts on Pelosi retiring? She’s certainly at that age.
The heck with working together!! Get rid of the fillabuster!!! Start playing the way Republicans did last term because they have no idea how to behave in a professional adult intelligent manner!!!
Go Senator Warren – time to get real and use the power invested in your position representing your electorate.
She is using the power invested in her position….but whining about the filibuster isn’t going to get the votes needed to revoke such. Perhaps she should learn the art of compromise….
After she takes care of herself.
She says it as it is. Without calling people names.
I like this “Americans didn’t send us to Washington to be some kind of debating society”
Yes!
No truer words can be said, but I think she meant liberals.
Because they can’t!
Example – censorship.
Smh
Actually, Americans did send both parties to DC to be part of a debating society. We’ve been doing it since 1789.
@Eric Wittman EXACTLY!
Whenever the Dems are in power, they want to get rid of the filibuster. When they aren’t in power, they love the filibuster.
Funny how that works…
That’s like the Republicans’ attitude toward the budget deficit.
Give up on “unity”, GOPers won’t even vote for what their constituents want/need!
So sad the women democrat seems tougher than the men
Those of us that voted for dems want the Republicans banished
No more McConnell crap.
Either get rid of it or make it a speaking filibuster. McConnell is an obstructionist. That is what he does.
