So, votes directly protecting American Democracy …

… must first clear an undemocratic super-majority cloture vote?

I’m beginning to think that Joe Manchin is not acting in good faith.

The Republicans of Lincoln’s day were anti-slavery liberals.

Besides his words and actions, how did you ever arrive at such a conclusion?

Took the words right out of my mouth. I’m at the point where I’m convinced he’s just trying to make sure shit DOESN’T get done while putting on a show of being Mr. Bi-Partisan. Fucker is tapdancing in clown shoes and it’s on my last nerve.

If the Democrats cannot unite around getting rid of the filibuster, then the Biden agenda is doomed.

And they can’t blame it on Republicans. The Democrats hold all the cards here.

Soooo…again …it gets confusing…what is it that these popinjays support and beyond their talent for obstruction and doing nothing…what makes any of them a "key republican "…they are all equally adept at being empty suits without principles.

If shit doesn’t get done, then he can’t be blamed for anything … win-win. He’s 71 years old. Can’t manage to vote for a fair voting rights bill put forward by his own goddamn party? I guess these guys go to their graves rationalizing their cowardice.

There is just no reason for his holding out on this that I can see. Does WVa really not want to see this legislation passed? I doubt that they are all that cognizant of it. This is just Joe Manchin being a dick.

I agree - except for some perhaps super-stealth strategy that he’s “offering” and if he’s turned down, then maybe he’ll agree to it. Who the hell knows. That’s what the media is always postulating … but yes, he’s a supreme dick. My “win-win” was sarcastic.

If that’s the case then give it to him for the love of pete!

I would be happy if that’s what is behind it.

They’ll be made cognizant of it during his next campaign, unfortunately. He’ll be branded a socialist or god knows what. That’s the real problem - NOTHING is ever dropped because of the RW echo chamber. Nothing. We’ll be hearing about gas shortages in two years even though they’ll be fixed soon.

He can’t do that. He agrees with the repubs too much. Also still has Leiberman on speed dial telling him he’s doing great!

“I know that Ms. Clarke, if she is confirmed —as she probably will be, unfortunately, without my support — will be integral to that process,” Cornyn said, while suggesting she would not be impartial in her handling of approving election policy changes.

Why she is likely to just let anyone vote without any concern over their race or party affiliation.

If that is the case, the only person who can stop Manchin is Biden.

OT

I will take my mask off when I see the 7 day rolling average chart way way low Globally. India is suffering, Europe is suffering many countries are suffering. Variant versions of covid are around. And I have health concerns to boot. So, sorry CDC, My mask stays on in public.

Biden and the other leaders need to have a come to Jesus meeting with Manchin over this. Pressure needs to be brought to bear.
