An election that was secure and ran correctly to with real rules would end with a brutal beating for the left.

Fraud is the only reason you would push the bullshite they do

I don't think Mike Lee is full on MAGA. Look at his positions on issues thru the years. He is a strict conservative. Mike Lee has laid out how the Senate could pass the Save America Act, but it takes a senate majority leader with a sack to keep all of the Republicans banded together. The majority leader would have to strong arm the willy nilly rinos to hold fast. But we don't have that with thune. Im guessing that Mike Lee is signaling to anyone to light a fire under thunes butt and make him do his job. But the dip shite who posted earlier about knowing more than Mike Lee is laughable. Spiderman tuba or crystal preserves or whatever their alter is now.

BL: few, if any, elected reps are actually representing their constituents. They ask through voting to enter the public spotlight and once elected become inaccessible. I seriously think about dragging them out of their homes to put in stockades so their constituents can throw rotten vegetables at them.

A majority of Americans want Voter ID. Pass the fricking bill or resign you pieces of chit.

Apparently Mike Lee disregarded Senate rules or thinks he can use the Parliamentarian as an excuse because he attached it to a Reconciliation Bill. Probably did this to elicit some sort of outrage. He did not have to do it.

You've presented a very reasonable and concise question to a Democratic Socialist and you will not receive an answer.

You guys keep introducing new labels for me as though they’re evidence.

Leftist.
Democratic Socialist.
Whatever comes next.

Meanwhile, the answer to the original question remains missing.

You were asked a question relevant to the subject on voting for the save act. We all know you are a limp wristed prog who supports illegals voting as long as it’s your team. Drop the tough guy act

ETA: When Sinema and Manchin submarined Biden’s $3 trillion bill, it was said that there were five or six more “No” votes among the democrats but they’d never show themselves unless they had to. It’s my guess that there are a handful of republicans who fit that description on this issue.


So, this is the MO. “Moderates” provide cover for the poseurs. All the more reason to smoke them out.

Yes, I understand that precedents can be used against you in the future when the shoe is in the other foot, However, the law is imperfect here. No solution that invokes current precedent is acceptable, and no current politician has the leadership to make it happen.

If you want to know why the SAVE act won’t pass, it all boils down to one thing: almost all politicians are compromised.

As others have said, we cannot vote our way out of this. The elections are rigged and the incumbents are fine with that.

“We all know…”

That’s usually how people begin a sentence when they don’t actually know.

You don’t know my views. You just need to pretend you do because discussing Mike Lee’s argument has clearly become uncomfortable.

A dozen comments, countless insults, and still not one coherent defense of the original claim.

That’s usually how a lost argument looks from the outside.

They should force endless debate! This entire implied “filibuster” where everyone goes about their day is pure laziness. The civil rights act was filibustered by your fellow Democrats and had today’s procedures been in place, would have never passed. Like that bill, some things are worth actually forcing the opposition to put in the work to kill the bill. Let the 80% of the people who support the SAVE act visibly see who opposes it and why.

I know you haven't noticed but you're not even worthy of a direct response.

You're so insane that the only appropriate response to any of your posts is ridicule and derision.

24 years in the senate and all I can think of that he accomplished was co-sponsoring the juneteenth holiday. Sad.

Maybe I’ve missed it, but what’s the reason he doesn’t support this?

Don't know specifically about Cornyn, but it may have something to do with the fact that the SAVE Act will make it harder for republicans to vote too.

Presently, approximately 54% of Democrats have a passport, which is documentary proof of citizenship. Only 43% of Republicans have a passport. That is a more than ten percent impact in favor of democrats.

When you get farther into rural areas, the percentage of eligible citizens with a valid and unexpired passport drops considerably. Again, that favors democrats.

While a driver's license and a certified copy of a birth certificate may constitute proof of citizenship, like passports, the farther you get into rural areas and the lower the socioeconomic strata, fewer citizens have this in their possession and ready to show.

Republicans have started to do the math. If the SAVE Act prevents ten percent more republicans than democrats from voting, that is a massive swing in close districts or states.

This is my theory as to why the SAVE Act appears dead except in right wing propaganda.
