Sinema is afraid to be the deciding vote on issues. She’s afraid of losing the cover that the filibuster gives her to skip out taking those votes. And she’s afraid of the Democratic platform. https://t.co/UE0BQx623K https://t.co/UE0BQx623K https://t.co/4U00utBy9l https://t.co/nXH78XpmZF — PolitiTweet.org

"Manchin and Sinema need to let legislation live or die by the majority's will. If they truly want bipartisanship to have its day again, they need to be unafraid to let bills come to final votes, even if they find themselves voting with the minority.” https://t.co/UE0BQx623K — PolitiTweet.org

Sinema concluded her remarks by "urging other senators to contact her if they wanted to discuss the issue further.” And I would love to be a fly on the wall for one of those meetings. Or maybe present at one of those meetings. I could make charts. — PolitiTweet.org

the whole point of the Senate is not the filibuster, or “unlimited debate,” or even the “minority’s rights” idea it’s that every state has the same number of representatives. the states are as powerful as ever in this format, to an extent that defies their relative sizes — PolitiTweet.org

AND ALSO: the Founders didn’t invent the filibuster to provide for the rights of the minority! they did a bunch of other things in designing the Senate to prevent the rabble’s mood swings from shifting policy, but the filibuster ain’t one of them https://t.co/4U00utBy9l https://t.co/V1wtbl4SZu — PolitiTweet.org
