DON’T let Senator Me-me @Sen_JoeManchin fool you. He wants to use the JL Voting Act as decoy/cover to TURN DOWN S1, For The People Act.

The JLVA would do NOTHING to the new GOP state voting restriction laws such as in AZ, GA, FL, TX, PA, WI, etc.

When they came for the liberals, I did nothing because I was not a liberal.

“What happens in 2024 if Biden or Harris win the Electoral College, but local Republicans on county boards with majority Democratic votes refuse to certify the election…

…when they refuse to certify Democratic wins in purple state Senate races, throwing control of the Upper Chamber into limbo and chaos? What happens if Biden/Harris wins the popular vote by 8 million votes & 30 electoral college votes…

Putin’s Playbook – Russia feigns “victimhood.”

"In his ANNUAL state of the nation address, amid heightened tension with the West over Ukraine & jailed Putin critic Alexei Navalny” he said 'Western powers were constantly trying to PICK ON Russia.'”
BBC➔bbc.com/news/world-eur…
2014– Putin & Manafort were steering Ukraine into a Trump-like Kleptocracy. BUT, in 2019 Ukraine ex-president Yanukovych was found guilty of treason. Now in exile in Russia, he was sentenced to 13 years over 2014 Maidan protests & Russia’s Crimea.
theguardian.com/world/2019/jan…
With GOP’s Jan. 6 Insurrection, do you see a pattern?

Paul Manafort & Tad Devine taught Putin, Trump, Belarus’ illegitimate President, Yukashenko & convicted traitor, Ex-Ukraine president Yanukovich everything they know about STEALING ELECTIONS.

The American Fascist Party– AFP (AKA the Republican Party) wants to take us back to the Robber Baron Fascist era. We need to fix our rickety voting & election structure, or we’ll lose our Democracy like the GOP wants.
WaPo➔washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-u…
We need “a top-to-bottom review of how [we] conduct elections, count votes & assure the public of the democracy’s health…and resist those who want to restrict voting, trash legitimate ballots & leverage positions of trust to upend valid results.”
WaPo➔washingtonpost.com/opinions/the-u…
Congress succumbed to the fascistic South in 1876 & threw Black citizenship under the bus for another 85 years. Maybe we should allow Southern states to secede & get the AFP out of our Democracy? Bye bye, Bama, Texass & Supremacist Carolina!!

Bernie – DOWN 19 Pts ⇩
“Pay no attention to Bernie’s DROP in the popular vote from 2016 to 2020”– @ChrisLHayes
“Pay no attention to Bernie’s DROP in the popular vote from 2016 to 2020”– @AriMelber
“Pay no attention to Bernie’s DROP in the popular vote from 2016 to 2020”– @Maddow
@chrislhayes @AriMelber @maddow #DropOutBernie So far you’re down 19pts from 2016. That tells you, you can’t win. You only have some 24% of the 28% registered Dems in America (8% of the electorate). That means the other 92% of America isn’t buying socialism. Give it up, so real Dems can beat Trump.
A vote against Bernie is a vote against Bernie. SC Primary had a 42% increase of some 156,000 new voters. Bernie only got 5% of them - only 8,500 voters. California will be the same story, relatively speaking. Bernie had 46% there in 2016. More people hate him now, than then.

#TheDNCIsUs. It’s not a secret society.
WE voted on its members. WE are registered Democrats. If you’re NOT a registered Democrat, like Bernie is not, then you didn’t get to vote for members of the DNC. That’s on YOU. You have no right to complain, so please STFU!
#TheDNCIsUs. It's not a secret society.
If you went to your County Dem meetings then you got to vote for County officers who vote on 2 DNC members (Chair & Vice Chair) from each State, who then vote on some 200 other members apportioned by population across the U.S.
.#TheDNCIsUs. It’s not a secret society.
Trump & Bernie want you to think the DNC is the enemy. It’s not. It’s members were voted on & are representatives of some 28% of the electorate who are registered Democrats. That’s “Representative Democracy” NOT "Democratic Establishment."
