Protecting voting rights is the only way to make US government work for the people

Just weeks after a deeply unrepresentative US Senate voted down establishing a commission to investigate one of the most significant attacks on our democracy on 6 January, 50 senators who represent 41m fewer voters than the majority in power blocked bold voting rights reforms that would make our government work for the people.

Already, the national conversation is pivoting away from voting rights and toward whether the same fate can be expected for other prominent bills on infrastructure and police reform.

poor libtards making a mountain out of a mole hill....
 
I hope Garland and Biden's team are all over this right wing putsch, I think it's 14 states now enacting voter disenfranchisement legislation

....could be they're not showing their hand just yet, or it could be they're powerless to stop the power grab/slo mo coup

Voting rights would be Biden's legacy if he insists on getting something substantial passed.

No one writes history praising infrastructure.
 
Our constitution allows the red state legislatures to do with they're doing to destroy legitimate voting...and that's just with they're doing.

Few progressive liberals, however, can handle reality well enough to blame the constitution for its inadequacies.

Your birthingpersonfucker elementary school teachers did a fucking great job of brainwashing you.

Delaware has the same voting laws as Texas and Florida

No it does not. This is why AG Garland is suing Georgia.

Suing is one thing.

Winning in court is another.

The constitution is rife with ill-advised compromises that were required to get obviously incompatible former colonies to join one union.
This isn't hard to see. This is totally obvious,

I think the federal lawsuit has a good chance to succeed.

I suspect that you HOPE the federal lawsuit has a good chance to succeed. So do I.

But seriously, if you can't see the concessions made to the slave holding states in the formation of our government,
you probably don't notice how much non-proportionate political power low population conservative rural states have relative to their population.

It's sufficiently bad to make us a socially regressive nation by global standards,
but Americans believe in "American Exceptionalism" so that we don't have to measure up to global standards when we can't.
