Democrats Are Now Calling Filibuster ‘Racist’, But Can You Guess How Many Times They Used It Just Last Year?

Democrats are desperate to end the filibuster. They see this as the key to passing their far left agenda, and they’re right. Without the filibuster, they would be able to pass pretty much whatever they want.

So, in an effort to get rid of the filibuster, they are pulling out the top move from their playbook and calling it “racist”. And it’s not just racist, but a “Jim Crow relic”.

But there’s just one problem with their ridiculous claim. They were in love with the filibuster just last year.

As The Washington Examiner reports:

Democrats used filibuster 327 times, compared to only once by GOP in 2020: Report

Wolf has been cried so many hundreds of times too often. I don’t even hear it anymore, other than as a signal that its time to turn off the TV. They have done it to themselves, but when does anyone expect to hear either truth or facts from criminals?

The filibuster is racist. It’s always been racist. Oceania is at war with Eastasia. And Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia.

The Democrat/mainstream media lets them get away with this phoniness and revisionism. If the shoe were on the other foot, and the GOP had regularly employed the filibuster and were now threatening to scrap it during a GOP administration, every mainstream media report would blast them for their hypocrisy.

Everyone knows it’s not racist if a democrat does it.

“She just changes her mind”. Billy Joel. They’re women-get it? Proof is in the fact they get away with it.

Don’t look for intellectual honesty or integrity in liberal circles. It just ain’t there.

Republicans should take to the floor, and to the microphones at press conferences and say to the American people “democrats are calling themselves v es racists for the first time in a long while. They claim that the filibuster is racist, yet they used it constantly during president Trump’s term to block many things Trump tried to get accomplished for the minorities in America, then the .eft turn around and claim the right are the racis5s? After they declare that the process of blocking minority bills is “racist”?

This is a clear case of liberal lunacy! They now claim that the very process that they exploited over and over, constantly, during Trump’s administration (which they stole from him btw), is racist?

Do we really need any more evidence than that to prove that liberalism really is a mental disease?”

Good point. The Republicans, IF they knew how to fight, would be going on talk shows, news stations, etc and bri going this point up constantly, exposing the idiotic hypocrisy of the left

They want HR wants the quote for the people” act

Look we can read this bill and look plainly what it says

The problem the Democrats have with this bill or whatever they’re trying to do

Is. We’re in the digital age now

Years ago we should’ve already had the following

Voting

The government knows exactly who you are - what your Social Security number is and you can have a name and password to logon to a secure site and vote however you want for the period before and up to the end of the election.

And change your vote at any time. Until 1200 am Nov 4. For example

Everybody republican or democrat observers can observe these login and voting by registered user from home computer or tablet or phone

Every voter can ask to see their final ballot and have them printed and mailed to them. Securely

You become eligible to vote in any state based on that states laws in terms of residency and so on and so forth

Forget all this nonsense about drop boxes in ballots , in machines counting , and all this other nonsense

If you’re not registered by the deadline ,then you’re not eligible to vote

Provisional ballots are fine , as long as they’re adjudicated properly

Digital voting - secure - unassailable

in complete control of the voter. At all times. It’s your vote

Used to think that the GOP was afraid of the racist accusation. Now it seems that the democrats use it as a convenient cover for the GOP to follow orders.
