Despite the outraged sugarcoating from @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin I think historians would agree the filibuster was used today to advance its most consistent purpose thru history: to block equal rights for Blacks & other minorities
@RonBrownstein @janemarielynch @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin I think we need to rephrase this. Neither party of voters will be able to choose who gets elected or who can run. Republicans or Democrats. There is a much wider spectrum that is actually occurring. The USA public should be deeply concerned. The GOP State Legislators will choose.
@RonBrownstein @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin I heard a pundit saying that the American people didn't give him a mandate of 60 senators. Right now, the 50 Democratic senators represent 41 million more Americans than the 50 Republicans. How much more of a frigging mandate do we need?
@RonBrownstein @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin Black folks like myself see right through it. Don’t worry we refuse to idly sit by. F that.
@RonBrownstein @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin it’s now on record that @Sensinema @Sen_JoeManchin and 50 Republicans are stripping Americans of their constitutional right to vote. They’re agreeing to the 440 voting restrictions put in place by GOP in 49 states. That’s how much they fear our votes.
@RonBrownstein @NorrinR06303580 @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin It is like watching an alien species reveal itself. You just can’t look away.
@RonBrownstein @MarenHofstad @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin Exactly. Somebody finally got it and said it.
@RonBrownstein @MittRomney @SenatorCollins @LeaderMcConnell @SenatorSinema @Sen_JoeManchin It is for this Reason I questioned @SenTimScott loyalty to his Culture much more than I questioned @Sen_JoeManchin loyalty to his Party
