Elie Mystal Roasts Joe Manchin For Blocking Democrats' Agenda

[UCmeNdc]

Elie Mystal reiterates what EVERY SINGLE ONE OF US has been saying - we need to get rid of the filibuster. If it is allowed to stay in place, the GOP is in power, even though they do not have the majority, because it allows minority rule, down to straight-up obstruction. If the filibuster stays in place, there will be no change to voting rights, no examination into the January 6th insurrection, nothing. Literally nothing. And that is what the Republicans want. They want to block Biden's entire agenda, just like they did with Obama.

Sens. Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are an actual blockade to any meaningful legislation. They need to buck up and DO something, or get out of the way.

It is 100% true - Democrats need to be bold, they need to be brave, they need to actually put up a fight on behalf of democracy and their constituents. Stop showing the fascists your belly.

1. There WILL be an examination of January 6- just one without GOP involvement

Pelosi will create a House Select Committee, with more power, including subpoena power, than the Compromise Commission would have had.

But yeah, either the filibuster ends, or Manchin and Sinema’s political careers do.

2. if manchin thinks there are 10 good people on the other side,

he should be put in charge of wrangling them for every vote.
