The Democrats Just Had a Big Voting Rights Win

[Wolverine]

Actually, that would be society, U.S. Constitutional law and Democracy had a big win against the enemy from within. Yet obviously Trumptards with their un-American tunnel vision focusing on the destructive and seditious act of anti-American repukes' efforts to destroy voting rights of society and Democracy from within and anything else of a civilized nature failed to pay attention that their devotion to repuke sewer slime is not a guaranteed win from hell. There is more than one way to get around the filibustering and seditious repuke war on voting rights and Democracy.


For most Democrats, last week was downright depressing. It started with President Biden's impassioned plea to Senators to end the filibuster in order to pass two desperately-needed election protection bills. It ended with Senator Kyrsten Sinema killing that idea in the cradle.

For those who see the threat of a total meltdown of American democracy as very real and very near, it was a body blow. Ranging from deeply frustrated to downright enraged, many assumed that all hope was lost.

They were wrong.

Yes, losing those bills hurts. And Democrats shouldn't give up on the federal level: The torrent of Republican laws to suppress votes and subvert elections remains a clear and present danger to American democracy, and perhaps to our the ability to hold together the country itself. But for those who were paying attention, there was actually a significantly more hopeful development last week."

Orwellian bullshit.

eliminating our republic is not going to save American Democracy. American Democracy is based on the very thing you are trying to kill you fucking moron

eat shit. die. and than allow others things to eat you and die.

The far left Democrat Socialist have done more to kill democracy in our Constitutional Republic than any other lunatic fringe in America.

No voter ID, importation of tens of millions of illegals (non-citizens) sanctuary cities and then allowing these non-American citizens to vote.

History will remember this...especially in November of this year.

Really? Chuckie just got bitch slapped twice on votes in the Senate whacking down his attempt to remove the filibuster and then on the Fuck the Voters act. The Democrats aren't getting their voter fraud bills out of Congress.

The Supreme Court gutted the VRA in 2013, the John Lewis Voting Rights Act is an attempt to right the wrong.

And Schumer was not "bitch-slapped" (whenever a male uses that term I know what's what in their home). The Democratic base demanded our elected officials be put on record.

And now they have been. He did that for us, not for you. No Dem gives one shit what you think.

The wrong was righted when the far left Democrat Socialists were defeated...48-52.

Your own party did not support it.

he forgot to actually mention the win in his post, but according to the article he cited the "win" was that an Ohio court rejected the new congressional districts approved by the Republican controlled state legislature.......

shame on the SC for paying attention to what the Constitution says......what the VRA did wrong was wrong.......if you try to put back the things that were wrong they will still be wrong......

the new deal is Biden is going to break it down to smaller bites and Biden is going to go actively sell it
with his outstanding poll numbers

I believe his favorable rating is at 33%, per the Quinnipiac poll.

Not much support for passing small parts of a horribly flawed bill.

The VRA is not unconstitutional, what is unconstitutional, is states preventing black people from voting. Depressing turnout by closing polling stations in majority-black districts for one example. The foundation of the VRA is that states do not have the right to prevent people from exercising their constitutional right to vote.

The thing is that you, and nearly every Republican voter know this. I mean, some are too stupid to know what any of this is about. They usually post pictures, instead of using their words.

But most of you know it, and you don't want black people voting because you want to keep the power of the minority. You are jackboots. But how long can the minority rule over the majority? That is the true question.

Which black people can not vote, names...dates of those black people who can not vote in the upcoming November elections?

The radical Democrat Socialists control the House, the Senate and the White House and still could not pass the un-Constitutional VRA.

Your own party kept the bill from passing.

Get a clue.

States have the Constitutional right to set times and conditions in their local districts.

The VRA is not unconstitutional

the Supreme Court disagrees with you....

n June 25, 2013, the United States Supreme Court held that it is unconstitutional to use the coverage formula in Section 4(b) of the Voting Rights Act to determine which jurisdictions are subject to the preclearance requirement of Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act, Shelby County v. Holder, 570 U.S. 529 (2013

https://www.justice.gov/crt/about-se...0529%20(2013).

that is what was "gutted" from the voting rights act in 2013 and what you say the John Lewis act will put back......

thinking that putting something back which was unconstitutional will still be unconstitutional does not make me a "jackboot"......how long can a minority rule over a majority?.....as long as we remain a nation that uses the electoral system to elect its president.........its worked well for the last 250 years.......

THIS Supreme Court, installed by a minority of voters, found the guts of the VRA unconstitutional. It isn't the first wrongly decided supreme court case, and with this illegitimate court seated, it will be far from the last.

So what? You know that. You love preventing people who don't vote the way you want them to from voting. That's not new. You're not new.

But this vote, and jackboots like you, inspire our base.

RCP has him in the low 40's - but polling is usual;y skewed with disproportionate Dems

Anyways... breaking down BBB after trying to shove it down the moderates throats isnt going to work either.. Progs wont stand for it -and we are in a midterm year
