Comments by "" (@TheHuxleyAgnostic) on "Sinema Kills Democrats' Voting Rights Act With Filibuster Announcement" video.
Aaron Dickson Literally was not built on the current lazy man's filibuster. You actually had to filibuster, so they didn't do it often, and most things passed by simple majority.

Aaron Dickson The senate itself goes against majority rule. You don't need to make an inherently undemocratic body even more undemocratic.

Aaron Dickson Because 2 votes represent 600k people and 2 votes represent 40m people? Because it can block the more democratic house? I don't give a crap who uses it. The lazy man's filibuster is bullshit. Most things used to pass by simple majority. Go back, or ditch it. What they're using now is, not at all, what the country was "literally" founded on.

@Mr Veep Doesn't much matter how many Republicans say they approve of Manchin. They won't vote for him, come election time. How is his favorability with Democratic voters, in his district?
