  1. You mention the ONE republican but not the tons of Democrats. You say it ramped up under Obama but ignore the fact it was used more against Trump then the rest of american history.

  2. That's funny because the Democrats was the one filibustering doing the civil Rights era and before then for black American civil Rights. And now they're doing it again they want to change things up Democrats all day long by the same Democrats from yesteryear

  3. Joe Manchin is nothing more than a Republican plant Incase the Dems take control of the Senate and it’s sad that the entire Senate Democrat has to fall in line for 1 man when it should be the other way around.

  4. I'm not going to let the news or politics drive me crazy anymore it's time to let them figure it out we need to move on and Liv ur life life's to short to worrie to death about politics troubles

  5. I feel it's always been to keep black ppl and women from voteing I belive anyone should be aloud to vote after all we live here take filbuster out Mitch rep has always use the filbuster for ther own control may God take away all the things ppl use to block black ppl and women's Rights everyone dhd have rights in ther country's

  6. The filibuster was formed before slavery was abolished. The Democrats used it to keep civil rights from passing in 50’s and 60’s. Now democrats say they are for civil rights and make more and more laws to keep minorities incheck and doing their bidding. Many are uneducated about the wrong doing and deception of the Democrats. They say one thing and do the opposite while blaming the other party for their mistakes…

  7. The filibuster wasn't racist when the Democrats used it to block Tim Scott's police reform bill! So, why is it all of a sudden racist? Because the Democrats control the Government and they want to keep that control until the Agenda 2030 is fully implemented!

  8. perhaps i have the wrong impression because so far everything i've seen from usa politics is anachronistic and draconian….
    but isnt the filibuster the equivalent of covering your ears and going "lalalalalalalalal" and thus blocking a vote without any sort of discussion?
    also when was the last time any issue was actually discussed and debated in a rational way in the usa senate?
    from what i've seen they always meet with their minds already made up, and it seems like they never change their minds…….republicans vote one way, democrats vote another way….two large blocks of thieves….

  9. doesn't everyone get tired of the snake oil salepeople democrats calling anything they don't like, don't need at this time, … or to just get votes as jim crow, racist , suppression , … even to get out of committing a crime ! dems used the filibuster 370 x's last year . They are just trying to even shove more on their supporters as well , things that are not good

  10. Dems were the first anti civil rights. Filibuster was created by Democrats. Democrats are the most racist lol. Abraham Lincoln freed the slaves. He was a Republican. Mic drop…..black reporter is packing up top.

  11. So how does it work if nothing changes when the talking is done?—-this didn't explain the process well enough
