What good is power when it isn't exercised?Like Manchin wants to avoid same scenario as judge nominations. He’d like everything handled in a bipartisan manner. But when it’s blatant partisan politics going on by the repugnican lead states, a foot needs to be put down somewhere
It wouldn't really be good. It would be best.What good is power when it isn't exercised?
What does it matter if Biden supports it? They votes aren't there to do it. And?
May be intentional or coincidental but I'm thinking Biden is covering his ass by putting it on record that he tried to do something to reverse what the Repubs are doing toward targeting suppression and disenfranchisement methods against voters who would vote against them.
If the votes were there for an exception to raise debt ceiling why not voting rights?What does it matter if Biden supports it? They votes aren't there to do it. And?
Indeed, I can see nothing but hypocrisy in the reluctance of two Democratic senators. Of course, I shouldn't criticize. I have principles I stand by even if it costs my country its democratic system of government, right up to when the US Senate is replaced by hand picked Republican Toddies. Manchin and Sinema, in my opinion, are mentally ill or just worthless liars. But that is not a nice thing to say because it is a judgment rendered before the facts are yet all in.If the votes were there for an exception to raise debt ceiling why not voting rights?
Because repubs are gun shy about getting blamed for shutting down payments to veterans, seniors, anyone else in their base.If the votes were there for an exception to raise debt ceiling why not voting rights?

He's 79 years old, president, and has been a politician for damn near 50 years. What does he need to CYA for?
They are not shy about stealing Democracy, placing barriers in front of minorities voting and putting this country on a path to permanent apartheid.Because repubs are gun shy about getting blamed for shutting down payments to veterans, seniors, anyone else in their base.
Thisnis not the same situation as voting rights.
and?its not up to biden
They are getting desperate, and they damn well should.
In a little over a year from now republicans could once again control it all, well pretty much all. The all that matters.
And that means no more Jan 6th investigations, no more investigating Trump AT ALL, no more BBB, no more voting rights bills to hints of a bill, and we will see a new senate and house ran amuck top to bottom with Marjorie Taylor Greene's.
Has anyone paid attention to those Trump ass republicans running for house and senate across the country? Some pretty scary shit running for office, if you haven't noticed, and of them poised to take control of our government.
You should be scared.... very scared!!!!
Biden and democrats have very little time left. And don't expect miracles come 2022 or expect anything to change because there will be no miracles and no change. Manchin won't change, Sinema won't change, nothing will change. Just think of it as the democrat party standing in quicksand and the party sinking deeper and deeper while Manchin and Sinema stand there waving bye bye.
So its the Republicans fault the Democrats are failing?
lulz
There is no such thing as a narrow exception, says guy who instituted a narrow exception for Supreme Court Justices and commonly uses the exception for budget reconciliation.The turtle is huffing and puffing, per the usual.
Can you explain the reasoning why you see 50 Republicans voting against voting rights legislation and 2 Democrats and decide that its the Democrats' fault? Surely you agree this is very good legislation, right?So its the Republicans fault the Democrats are failing?
