How will Joe Biden GOVERN? General Biden Administration F**kery Thread

[winb83]

It wasn't "they" it was Manchin. I dislike it as much as anybody but you can't blame the whole party for what one person does.

Tell that to the voters. They elect this razer thin margin that promotes this disfunction then get upset nothing gets done.

 

[Worthless Loser]

I honestly think Manchin is giving cover to other Senators who don't want to break the filibuster either but is too scared to say so.

He absolutely is.

Dudes in here saying it's only one person are flat out lying.

 

[Pressure]

Last year dudes were begging for Biden to endorse a rules change for voting rights.

Now you same dudes are whining over it.

This is just speculation and may or may not be true.

Multiple voting rights advocates in Georgia already told Biden to fukk off with this bullshyt speech because they know nothing will pass and Biden has no plan to get it passed.

But you low expectation having ass nikkas expect people to cheer this bullshyt?

 

[Hood Critic]

So they delayed BBB to do a song and dance on voting rights that won’t result in anything being done. These people are idiots and clearly didn’t want power. They probably wish they lost the Georgia races.

I don't know about you but I'd much rather their energy be focused on voting rights legislation in a midterm year rather than a watered down version of BBB.

The US will ultimately break off into several state collectives.

This shyt is done, brehs…

Such as who? I have a hard time believing that considering what the alternative is.

EDIT:

So this - Voting rights leaders skipping Biden's Georgia speech to spur action ?

Voting rights leaders skipping Biden's Georgia speech to spur action
I don’t blame them. Biden has to understand he ain’t Obama. Black folks were always enthusiastic with Obama and came out in force to give him a second term. They won’t be as forgiving to Biden or anyone else in 2024.

Why Democrats Keep Bringing Up Voting Rights

One of the bills Schumer hopes to get through the Senate — the Freedom to Vote Act — is a slimmed-down version of the omnibus For the People Act. Backed by every Senate Democrat, this newest bill would enact policies establishing automatic voter registration, protecting against election subversion and preventing partisan gerrymandering, among other things. (To read more about this and other bills Democrats have considered, check out this article by my colleague Nathaniel Rakich.) In October, though, the last time the bill was taken up by Congress, Senate Republicans filibustered consideration of the measure before it could reach the floor for debate. The GOP has since shown little appetite for negotiation, which means that Democrats are going to have to pass the measure on their own.

One thing now working in Democrats’ favor is that the bill — and passing voting-reform measures broadly — remains popular with the public. When likely voters were given a short description of the Freedom to Vote Act, 85 percent of Democrats and 54 percent of Republicans said they supported it strongly or somewhat, according to a September Data for Progress poll. Moreover, when all respondents learned more about the various provisions of the bill, support remained overwhelmingly high. And, strikingly, according to a December University of Massachusetts Amherst poll, most Americans said they were against partisan interference in elections: By 61 percent to 19 percent, they opposed making it easier for state legislatures to change election results if they believed there were problems.

Timing is likely another reason why we’re hearing about voting rights again. Schumer’s announcement coincided with two important dates that align well with pro-democratic priorities: the first anniversary of the Jan. 6 attack and Martin Luther King Jr. Day. King’s family even urged the public not to celebrate the holiday if Congress didn’t pass any voting rights legislation. It’s also possible given the recent failure to pass President Biden’s Build Back Better Act and the upcoming midterm elections that Democrats are simply running out of options they can actively pursue.

Then what is the point of this speech?

Trying.
I don’t get it. You want him to do something or nothing?

I’m just saying that he can’t magically put 70 Democrats in the Senate.
