If Mitch McConnell can steal 2 Supreme Court seats for Trump with 51 votes to take away voting rights, Senate Democrats should be able to pass legislation with 51 votes to protect voting rights
“For the People Act is supported by 68% of Americans & would expand voting access for tens of millions but it can be blocked by 41 Republican senators representing just 21% of the country. Biden needs to make public case for eliminating filibuster”
“Biden understands Senate rules better than anyone. He’s uniquely placed to have a Nixon goes to China moment on the filibuster. He can say to Joe Manchin there’s some things, like voting rights, that we can’t compromise on” @mehdirhasan @MehdiHasanShow
There's huge disconnect between Biden calling GOP attack on voting rights "most significant test of our democracy since Civil War" but then saying "we also have to clear-eyed about the obstruction we face" & offering no plan to overcome that obstruction. Action must match words
