Literally a waste of time .. so power hungry it’s gross

[curtislundberg]

Can we actually be open and honest about “voting rights”?…

[littledancingfawn]

Government is supposed to move SLOWLY.
If you can’t get 10 people from the other side to agree with you, it doesn’t need pass.
Senate is there to represent their state. No state should get more representation regardless of the amount of people in it. That’s what the house is for. It’s not fair for big city democrats to run more rural conservative states.

All theatre, Schumer will not get rid of the filibuster. He is going to need it when he loses the Senate.

[billadonnicadonnicabilla]

They'd like the filibuster just fine if they were currently the minority.

[jeanniestanley]

Voting is given to states thru constitution not the u.s. government— simple— follow the constitution

[MediaFolkus]

Majoritarian Senate.
Get rid of the filibuster.

[ileemoore]

It's really sad how the government can't get alone they act worse than children

[coreyst.claire]

Turn it back into a talking filibuster that way we the people can know what they are doing

[henryannis]

If he does he will be crying in 2022 to get it back.

[joelpeters]

Senators weren't elected the same way as they are today. Whoosh

[ViralVenom]

Democrats will regret getting rid of the fillibuster come 2022. >:)

[courtw]

Neither side really wants to eliminate the filler buster. It gives them an out. Get rid of it, majority rules. Same thing with the electoral vote.

[terrystevenson]

I no dam well we the people need that help now but the government don't see the people at all

[MathAll_]

They’re gonna have to do something about it. Right now nothing changes at all

[kalifornyakidmr.shadowban]

When you can't win you change the rules. -Democrat motto

[richyaniga]

If you don't do something about voting the filibuster ain't going to matter

[magiccarp]

Voting rights like letting people vote by not showing an ID mail in voting and no checks to make sure no fraud is going on

[maabigedmark]

Regardless of the filibuster or not voting rights belong in the hands of individual states PERIOD.

Chuck Schumer proposes. Joe Manchin disposes.
