re: #125 Patricia Kayden

We’re screwed then because it isn’t just Manchin and Sinema who refuse to get rid of the filibuster. Republicans will control Congress for the last six years of Biden’s presidency because Democratic Senators are okay with voter suppression laws in red states. It’s that simple.
Sorry to sound alarmist but I don’t see Democratic Senators taking voting rights seriously. I hope I’m wrong about this.

Sorry to shine a faint ray of hope into the gloom, but what I hear is that now that the fiscal bills are mostly finished, they’re working on voting rights. President Biden has been meeting with legislators, and they are putting the bill together.

(A week ago, you will recall, the bipartisan budget bill was all but dead — and 17 repug senators have now voted for the motion to proceed.)
