The Filibuster Optics [View all]
My eyes are wide open.
Not just Manchin and Sinema - but everyone they are providing cover for . . .
They are sending a loud message to me that a pre-civil war and segregationist Senate Rule to ensure the Enslavement states Senators have "their say" is more important than individual non white tax paying citizens having theirs.
In particular - Sinema - when she loses or wins but has her opponent appointed by the Arizona GOP I'm going to laugh.
She doesn't get a cent from me for her campaign and truthfully? The CBC should be looking now at the bench in the Latino and Native Americans in the party in AZ to find someone to primary her.
We are losing that seat anyways due to her self-inflicted wound. Doesn't matter who the candidate is.
As for Manchin - time for black folks to paint him as a Segregationist. He is literally showing me that my hard working, tax paying citizens and FULL human being family members in GA, AL, TN, and yes - AZ - are not good enough to vote.
They have a choice - be for full humanity and citizenship for black Americans - or be painted as an UnAmerican Bigot.
