Sinema And Manchin Will Leave If Dems Repeal Filibuster!

I'm all white.

Progressives are fuming at two senators many see as obstruction to the Democratic Party's agenda. One senator from West Virginia and one senator from Arizona has angered the left by their refusals to go big on some of the most challenging issues.

And they have the audacity to use Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in their statements.

Get the fuck outta here, Sen. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ). You motherfuckers aren't invited to the soul food function. Keep your lily white asses out of Black empowerment.

Manchin and Sinema went to Davos, Switzerland to discuss America's challenges and the political discourse which allowed folks like Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA), Rep. George Santos (R-NY) and Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) to exist.

Sinema wearing an expensive attire, confirms that if the Democrats repeal the filibuster, she and Manchin will no longer be a part of the Democratic Caucus.

They shared a high-five as proof.

“We still don’t agree on getting rid of the filibuster,” Manchin said before they turned to each other and high-fived.

The lawmakers’ intransigence on the filibuster effectively blocked key Democratic legislative priorities, such as voting rights reforms and codifying abortion rights, over the past two years. Sinema, who left the Democratic Party to become an independent last month, used the outing at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting to take a victory lap.

J.B. Pritzker called the high five shameful.

“While some would say that there were reluctant folks working in Congress in the last two years,” she said, gesturing at herself and Manchin, “I would actually say that was the basis for the productivity for some incredible achievements that made a difference for the American people in the last two years.”

Sinema was apparently jabbing back at fellow panelist Illinois Democratic Gov. J. B. Pritzker, who had knocked the senators for their pushback to some of President Biden’s agenda.

“[Biden] has worked with some reluctant members of his own party,” Pritzker said, motioning toward the side of the stage with Manchin and Sinema. “But we have gotten things done for the United States at the federal level under this president.”

Sinema called the filibuster an “important guardrail for the institution” and dinged Democrats who argued the U.S. would “not have any more” free elections without the voting rights package, saying the country had free elections in 2022 without the legislation passing.

“One could posit that the push by one political party to eliminate an important guardrail in an institution in our country may have been premature or overreaching in order to get the short-term victories they wanted,” Sinema said.

Manchin and Sinema are up in 2024 and they have not confirm whether they'll run for reelection or retire. Manchin is in a state that voted for Washed Up 45 overwhelmingly.

Washed Up 45 carried West Virginia with 76% of the vote. 

President Joe Biden carried Arizona by 1.4 points and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) won by 6 points in 2022. Sinema won against Martha McSally by 3 points. Kelly won against McSally by 2.4 points in 2020.

Ignore the noise. Don't listen to polls and stay focus on issues that matter. Democrats defied the odds in 2022 and will again in 2024. Republicans will destroy themselves.

We must not allow the noise to win. If the noise wins, white supremacy and authoritarism rules.
