I have the utmost respect for President Biden and am grateful for his leadership. I was

encouraged by both the language and the passion in the speech I just heard and watched him give about how vital passage of the "For The People Act" is to the very SURVIVAL of our democracy. But,-------

----tell me how this legislation gets passed without at least a "carve out" from the filibuster.

I have no knowledge about what sort of communication is taking place between the White House and the duo of Manchin and Sinema. I hope it is being made "pellucidly clear" to them that "Yes, we really mean it---the very survival of our democracy as we know it depends on passing this Act. This is bigger than anyone's reputation or their reelection chances. You can either help us save our nation or you can allow it to perish."

I am tired of hearing how we "need" these two. We only need them if our democracy survives '22. If it does not, no Democrat or non-Trumpie will really matter.

1. Tell Manchin and Sinema that is their voters that are being suppressed they won't be able to win wit

Without The votes of every Democrat in their state. If they are worried about reelection they need a fair and honest vote count. They need their voters to come to the polls or send in ballots.

2. Manchin has already articulated a modification to the filibuster he would support

If Schumer brings that to a vote using the nuclear option, it’s all down to Sinema.

As much as she loves being the center of attention, I don’t think she wants to be in the spotlight as the sole enabler of Jim Crow 2.0 and villainous dismantler of democracy.
