#MSNBC #VotingRights #AlFranken
If you need to count on Sinema to make changes neccessary to help, unfortunately I think the US is screwed. Her response to Biden was ridiculous and unintelligent. While she happily stood beside a Republican senator on their joyful day outside.. Her behavior, how she spoke and what she said gave me a strong feeling that she is working with the Republicans.
which goes to show you, it is vitally important we know who we are voting for. How do we know candidates are not republicans who claim to be dems so they get in there? Last straw for me on sinematic, was her theatrical thumbs down on the minimum wage vote...a vote she barely bothered to even do.
Sometimes I think they are plants. If they do enough despicable things, come voting time no one is going to want to vote for another Democrat and will probably vote Republican. This in turn gives the Republicans two added seats making them the majority. This of course given if the same senators are reelected or remain because they are not up for reelection.
@@e-spy totally agree. Certainly worthy of a good B-slap.
Gave me the strong feeling that she's taking dark money, more to the point.
I wonder if she has bi-partisan and bi-sexual confused.
With Democrats like Sinema & Machin who needs Republicans
Trojan horses.
Exactly!😡

Good ole boy MITCH MCCONNELL Living proof of zombies. JUST LOOK AT HIM

I'd rather not
This is a fight against Fascism.
Most every effort by democrats is a fight against fascism!
Yes it is
“We have to change our behavior...”
Senator Sinema, have you met the GOP? What are you smoking?
What is she smoking?
change YOUR behavior, lady...no re-election for you!!!
How is Sinema different than Marjorie tater? Typical ignorant trump cultists.
@@maryherrera7893 Sure ain't regular cigarettes
"Change your behavior" is like saying we don't need laws to prosecute rapists, we just need people to stop being rapists.
I agree Jonathan! Hoping people "behave" is great n all, but we need fair and equitable laws that are reflective of what the majority of Americans want! Jim Crow is coming back hard and that is bigtime scary!

@@deb3376 Nice try on deflecting. It doesn't work.
Senator Sinema and Her friend Joe Mancin needs to be primaried by Democrats..
You need to wake up! Do you really want Rethuglicans to have absolute power when they are the majority? I can't believe all these Leftist news clowns are ripping Sinema for her views. Sounds like the Rethuglicans that ousted Liz Cheney for standing up for what's right. Ever seen "Mr. Smith goes to Washington."?
GOP busy trying to keep people from dropping off their election ballots but they can stay home and filibuster. WTH?
@@MeanGeneSanDiego Did you not listen to a word Frankin said? (Or anyone on the left who has been sounding the alarm for that matter?) If Republicans get the House in 2022 it won't matter if the filibuster is gone. the GQP have made it perfectly clear they want power at all costs even if it means the end of democracy!
@@IMSiegfried Sorry, Dear. You're reply makes zero sense. If the Rethuglicans gain power, our only defense against Rethuglican tyranny is the filibuster. Get it? Go watch "Mr. Deeds goes to Washington" now. Seriously!
@@MeanGeneSanDiego Spoken like a true mesmerized Trumper ….
Kick both out of the senate!! Protest them everywhere they go. Don’t give them a moments peace until they get in line or resign from office
Or maybe you could vote them out. Oh right a fair vote might not go YOUR way.
@@KaiserBlade yeah a “fair” like the one they’re setting up for 2022, trying to block every vote they can to stop the majority from voting them out. That kind of fair, right? F🤡

@@KaiserBlade Oh go away TROLL. Stop parroting the conspiracies.
We miss you in the Senate Al.
Al Franken should have never resigned. He was swift boated by political correct members of his own party while the Reps sat back and snickered. That's why you won't see Reps swift boating Gaetz or MTG to resign.
Except there was photo evidence of his mistake in the case of Franken
He could always run again.
@@TheRealCrimdor Which was nothing more than a tacky camera angle trick that alarmists including that opportunistic 🐚 Gilibrand treated as actual sexual assault.
@@TheRealCrimdor There is audio of Trump bragging about sexual assault, audio of him hitting on a 10 year old, photo evidence of him hanging out with mobsters he denied knowing, and the scam university yet Republicans made him their leader.
@@TheRealCrimdor is your Venmo private or not......(Gaetz)
Sinema says "change your behavior" is the solution to bipartisanship. Republicans won't change their behavior as long as Trump and McConnell are in charge of the GOP.
The two we are waiting for to change their behaviour are Joe manchin and seminar.
Thee filibuster itself is the result of more than one change to the rules!
As Franken mentioned senators had to be present for the lengthy speech, initially. The 2/3 vote came later.
The rules have already been changed more than once.
@@robinbanks66
Manchin and Sinema aren't fit to advocate "changes in behavior" for Dems, who need to OUST that traitorous twosome.
She was in Texas conoodling w/ Republiklans while she made that statement.
She needs to change her behavior, as Republiklans are not just opponent's, they are now the enemy......
Edit;
*She was in Tucson conoodling w/Republikkkan
She wants Dems to change their behaviour to become Nazis right with her.
Al Franken's perspectives are many times in alignment with my own.
Why would anyone want a group of "constant whiners" making decisions that affect us all. The ENTIRE GOP does nothing but cry.
"Hunting down the mythical creature - bipartisanship". Hilarious!
I have never seen it! It’s like Sasquatch!🙈🙈🙈🙈
This is after 12 years of Mitch McConnell blocking all democratic input. Totally partisan.
Especially when one gang is full blown authoritarian!
I wish Al was back in the senate
You and any many more. Al was by far my favorite.

@@antoniosaxon8605 A GPQ character assassination job and some dumb Democrats joined in trying to get Al to quit!

@@lakeinator 1st it was hard to decipher what you were saying I guess English is not your 1st language!2nd if you were saying the election was a fraud then you are dead wrong!
Props to Biden for calling those two out, even if he didn't name them. They know who they are, and so do all of us. To have the President of the United States to call out your selfish reasons for doing these things is a historic blemish on their resumes.

I think that Al Frankin’s idea on how to reform the filibuster is a great idea
@John Everson Hi, how are you?
And how do you intend to do that without bipartisanship?
What is Sinema’s rationale for holding office? She could not be more apathetic or less engaged. Given that her two main priorities are trolling the media, and owning the libs, she really should consider switching her party affiliation.
Sinema and manchin's finances need to be looked at, something is up.

@Garrett Grant Hi, how are you?
Pushing Franken out was one of the stupidest things the dems ever did.
1,000%!!!!
It was stupid, but it helped Sen. Doug Jones (D) from Alabama to win on high moral ground against an accused pedophile by a slight margin. Sen. Doug Jones did an excellent job in office but did not win re-election when he faced a former Auburn football coach-who refused to debate, didn’t know the three branches of government, and later voiced support for the insurrectionists. Very frustrating situation.
Keep the faith, y’all. Thank you for your outspokenness, Sen. Franken.
Seems like you still believe the democratic party is genuinely into politics
And senima was the loudest voice to do it.

It's getting to the point where it's getting very difficult for Republicans to win elections, which is why they do their gerrymandering and voter purges.

@David Keogh Hi, how are you?
@@cindysmith1563 well hello from ireland.
That is the right solution. 41 senators on the floor + related talking (no green eggs) The intention of the filibuster is to air the arguments for and against.
190 million people represented by their senators voted for the 1/6 commission. 105 million against. The minority prevailed. Easily.
Great to see Al. I subscribe to his channels. I'd like to mention his push for police CIT (Crisis Intervention Training). He has a very cheap, eastablished method that would be a great way to improve our policing situation. One that the Federal government could recommend and assist departments in getting. Please take a look at it.
"The way to fix that is to change your behavior, not to eliminate the rules or change the rules..." the Filibuster isn't even in the CONSTITUTION and was made to eliminate the rules. What is she even talking about?! How is she a U.S. Senator? The first thing we need to do is eliminate this crap that isn't in the Constitution.
Tell the Republicans to change their behavior see where it gets her!
Mitch stated - "Me and my colleges will do anything to stop the Biden Administration."
What else needs to be said.
@Chris Merkel Hi, how are you?
I believe Moscow Mitch said the same thing about President Obama. He’s despicable.
@@uwsgrrrl9981 He did and the party blocked everything during the Obama Presidency.That’s why we’re in this situation now. I guess Manchin and Cinema has forgotten that. Joe Biden better not make the same mistake. He needs to do everything he can right now to pass the necessary laws to save our democracy. Playing with Trump Republicans is going to cause us more suffering. Trump Republicans don’t move for there voters but their own interest. They stick together regardless of the consequences. Democrats are losers. Sympathetic to change. They need a backbone. Kamala and Biden not strong enough leaders.
Al I speak for myself
Everyone loves you
We miss you on the floor
But we are watching you
With the love you deserve.

The solution is not to change behavior, it is to change senators.
Democrats need to get on the ball. Get people to register to vote and get them to the polls.
Do things that get people interested in voting.
Franken's idea for the filibuster sounds good. Let the American people hear the debate.
Sinema is running ads making her sound like a reasonable person, all the while acting like anything but. In AZ, it was her or Martha McSally. Talk about a rock and a hard place.
I agree, all either party will have to do next election is get a sane and reasonable person and they are in. Oops, never mind.
Truly Americans have lost brave man like Al and a mind of conscious and sanity
Sinema is looking up to Cornyn like she’s asking for permission.
She acts like someone who just downed her 5th Valium of the day and isn't quite sure where she is. She's inane and feckless.

Sinema is clearly doing the bidding of her donors who don't want anything to change because they benefit from the status quo.

I simply don't understand Sinema from Arizona. She will be a one term senator, so might has well do the right thing and vote to change the direction of this country toward more justice and equality. If she does not , the Dems will not elect her. She and Manchin can't recognize all the issues at stake. What are those two afraid of?
Why are no journalists asking Cinema and Manchin why they won’t return the filibuster to a painful process! That’s the ONLY thing that made the filibuster a useful tool to create bipartisanship!!! Y’all all keep asking them why they support it instead of making the filibuster a useful tool!!!
There has got to be a term limit on the people on our government! McConnell and Pelosi needs to go home and RETIRE
