Members JaneAusten Posted February 28, 2021 Members Share Posted February 28, 2021 This is why not dumping the filibuster is so assinine. HR1 is the most important piece of legislation at this point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted February 28, 2021 Members Share Posted February 28, 2021 That's the most upsetting part of the whole thing. Joe Manchin is very wealthy, and I imagine Sinema is doing alright as well - they don't have any real reason to care about stopping brutal voter suppression laws. They are set. Damn the rest of us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 28, 2021 Members Share Posted February 28, 2021 I really do not believe Manchin and Sinema are keen to be spotlit as blocking the Voting Rights Act. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted March 1, 2021 Members Share Posted March 1, 2021 We'll get there. I suspect that the plan is to get the Rescue plan passed and let people start seeing the benefits then pivot to the VRA and probably an infrastructure plan. That's when the filibuster will go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted March 1, 2021 Members Share Posted March 1, 2021 They came for Dolly and it backfired on their asses!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2021 Members Share Posted March 1, 2021 The article feels navel-gazing and pointless, but I do agree with them (and yes, Dolly probably would too) that it's not a good idea to try to deify her or to make her into some way of being. Of course most people don't do that, but as the years pass, I notice that various political sites and culture sites have been writing to smaller and smaller audiences. I'm sure soon enough we will have Twitter trends demanding we "cancel" Dolly (probably because she says she doesn't know kpop, or something). The good news is Dolly won't give a [!@#$%^&*]. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2021 Members Share Posted March 1, 2021 The voter suppression continues, even as puff pieces about Manchin and his bipartisanship continue to be belched out: Meanwhile, your latest reminder of what horrible people the Bushes are (and always were): 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JaneAusten Posted March 2, 2021 Members Share Posted March 2, 2021 (edited) This won't go anywhere but introducing an $15/hr amendment is a good way to keep pressure on and the issue in the forefront.
