If a Democrat thinks protecting disenfranchised voters is too partisan...

They're not on our side. This is white supremacy in action.

1. Reminds me of the Dixiecrats of my childhood.

2. And yet without that same democrat we wouldn't have gotten the major stimulus passed.

We are a big tent party with progressives and moderates. I’ll always push our moderates to the left, and always vote for progressive candidates over moderates, but folks need some semblance of pragmatism.

The alternative to Joe Manchin - who votes with us most of the time - is a Trump Republican who voted with us none of the time.

3. The filibuster helps him a lot

He doesn't have to go on record with supporting or not supporting very much at all.

There are no votes on anything particularly controversial. He makes sure of it.

9. Exactly

He and Sinema are using the filibuster as a shield so they don’t have to go on record voting against progressive legislation.

4. I don't care how big the tent.

If you don't think it's worth protecting the voting rights of minorities you're a racist or capitulating to racists.

5. Exactly! We all wish it wasn't so, but it is. We have to make plans and move on...how we can best

Work around the qgop and get our ppl to the polls.

The law suits filed against these egregious voter suppression laws will buy democracy time says Marc Elias, confident that much of them will be struck down in the courts. It’s the best we have..for now. Please make a plan and support those that are on the front lines of the fight. Plus all of the organizations listed below have suggestions on how to help

7. Hard to get people to the polls when you have a racist Democrat ok with keeping them away.

A rich white man that wants to keep African Americans and other non-white voters from the polls? That is systematic racism and needs to be called out and shamed.

6. He has said he won't support the federal voting rights bill

because it’s too partisan. I haven’t read that he’s opposing all of the state laws restricting voting rights as being too partisan.

8. Neither have I...

Great point.
