Voting Rights: We Need More Democratic Senators

Porn stars might believe in God, but God is easier to believe in than Manchin/Sinema seeing reason. To be clear, as President Biden said yesterday during a long press conference, Democrats and Biden (helped by Senate control) got a lot done.

Voting and elections remain key. TPM has a good summary of the long and tiresome effort to get the duo to see reason. How Republicans have failed to support anything here. How a talking filibuster, at the very least for THIS, is not some radical move. And so on.

After a lot of talk, we got to the same result as months ago. Two things, for those who want something. (1) 48 senators did sign on (2) We are done with the apparently neverending farce, always hoping, ending with Republicans patting Sinema (wearing red!) on the back and shaking her hand. Let's deal with BBB too, including finding what can pass. Dragging that on too is tiresome and counterproductive probably at this point.
