Comments by "Christos P" (@JohnCarterIsMyName) on "Sinema Kills Democrats' Voting Rights Act With Filibuster Announcement" video.
1) Schumer needs to be removed as senate majority leader. The idea that he did not know what Sinema (or what any senator will speak about is incompetence) was going to give that speech. 2) Sinema is representing the viewpoints of other LOSER democratic senators that don't have the stones to speak their support to keep the filibuster. 3) Sinema and Manchin should have their committee assignments removed. Tell them never to come back to the senate because they won't be doing anything. 4) You can't vote to impeach Criminal Trump and acknowledge that Criminal Trump manipulated state govts trying to overthrow the election at the state level. 5) Lastly it defies logic that you want to preserve a senate rule that republicans will remove in future should they gain control of the senate. That means you are supporting republicans now and in the future.

Aaron Dickson ... 100% FALSE. The filibuster was not made by the Founding Fathers. In 1789 the House and Senate rules were nearly identical. The possibility of the filibuster was created unintentionally in 1805 by Aaron Burr (who was under indictment for murdering Alexander Hamilton) complained about the motion to close debate because he felt it was redundant. The House still had their rule to close debate by a simple majority. Strangely the senate left the rule to close debate out of their rules in 1806 by mistake. The senate that had motion to close debate from 1789 to 1806 no longer had the rule. It took decades for the minority party to exploit this rule omission. The 1st filibuster was in 1837. There were so few filibusters before the Civil War because it was the senate norm to pass bills via a simple majority. The Founding Fathers did NOT build anything on the filibuster. You didn't know that. Try again LIGHTWEIGHT

Aaron Dickson .. Sinema and Manchin are REPUBLICANS. They want to preserve the filibuster NOW so it hurts democrats so future republicans can remove the rule. It's as if they are working for Moscow Mitch.

@Mr Veep .. Manchin's approval ratings have fallen from 70% since he was governor which is why his winning percentage for senate fell from 2012 (61%) to 2018 (49%). Manchin didn't get a a majority of the WV vote. Approval ratings from republicans don't mean anything in general elections. All the republican candidate has to do in WV is point out that Manchin voted to impeach Criminal Trump twice. Manchin real approval rating will be 45% in a losing campaign in 2024. Manchin is done in WV.

@Mr Veep ... 60% of Manchin's approval numbers are REPUBLICANS that will never vote for him in 2024. Biden's numbers are low because of Manchin and Sinema since the black approval rating has dropped from 88% to 55%. Only P%SSIES like Criminal Trump can't say the real name. Biden. Try again LIGHTWEIGHT

Aaron Dickson .. Manchin was already going to lose in 2024. Now that Sinema sold out the people that got her elected, she's done in 2024. The others will retire and will be replaced with other democrats since they are in blue states. Have anymore easy questions?
