Another Biden defeat as Dems waive white flag on federal takeover of elections

[Counselor706]

Democrats on Tuesday admitted that they will add the attempted federal takeover of elections to their list of legislative failures despite efforts to break the filibuster.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) made an unusual move this week to schedule a vote on two bills, the Freedom to Vote and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, even though they lack the 60 votes to pass through the Senate. Instead, the New York Democrat will attempt to convince his 50-member majority to support breaking the legislative filibuster.

However, many Democrats admitted Tuesday that the prospect of passing these bills already appears doomed, as Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) have consistently opposed breaking the 60-vote filibuster threshold.

"Federal takeover of elections"?

The Voting Rights Act never was that, and neither is this.

If only! Then I would have power over weak minds. In practice, they appear to be pretty much impenetrable. Yours is.

Mine is like warm butter to facts and logic. That's why it seems like a Kevlar-coated steel to you.

If you were even receptive to facts and logic you wouldn't be a conservative.
