re: President* Biden: I am profoundly disappointed that the Senate has failed to stand up...!

Exactly. It lost on merits just like I expected it would. Our govt. process works if we work it.

We will continue to advance necessary legislation and push for Senate procedural changes that will protect the fundamental right to vote.

Until after the November elections. Then we will call eliminating the filibuster an affront to bipartisanship.

Are we essentially looking at gridlock on everything until November?

Basically, unless, you know, the Dems actually wanted to try to govern. They could blow up BBB into individual smaller bills where there is broad bipartisan support and move to pass those. Then, if the GOP filibustered, they could rightly scream it's all political and they care nothing for the country.

Logical question:

If the most people in the history of the United States supposedly voted in 2020, and the current president supposedly got the most votes ever, why do we need legislation to ensure that people can vote?

Seems like they did just fine less than a year ago.

It's frightening that only 2 out of 50 Democrat senators have any sense at all.

I think it’s a few more than that. They’re using Manchin and Sinema as cover.

It’s worse that more of them don’t have the nads to stand up to their own leadership.

There has never been anyone who wanted to vote that couldn't, sans a few felons.
If you want to vote, you should cherish the opportunity and take the time to learn the candidates and take the necessary steps to do so.
America doesn't just hand out driver licenses just because you show up, you have to do due diligence to earn the privilege to drive.
I'm not saying people need a test to vote, but I am saying that if you can't do the simple things, like preparing yourself and at least making sure you're properly registered, you don't deserve to vote.

Further, voter registers need to be verified at a much higher rate, not less as Biden wants.
How would this ever "stop voting rights"?

This bill was nothing more than a free pass to manufacture fraudulent votes.
