Supreme Court has nearly killed the Voting Rights Act of 1965

Will Senate Dems bypass the filibuster to fix this?

Could've just voted for Hillary but you guys wanted Trump to win so bad


lesson not learned

:manny:
I actually did vote for Hillary, just like the vast majority of Sanders supporters in 2016 did. In fact, we voted for Hillary at a higher percentage than her supporters voted for Obama in 08. The real disloyal faction of Dem voters is white women. And you knew that, since it's been repeated ad nauseum after each of your lazy attempts at gaslighting.

buttery males.... so glad we avoided the disaster a hillary presidency would have been....
She should've campaigned in key states she lost. Her hubris cost her. Russian interference couldn't have overcome a vigilant campaign. Obama didn't coast to victory, he had his team knocking on doors until the last minute.

The blindness of centrist liberalism is what gives way to fascism, not progressive challenges to improve the whole system.

Apparently Hillary's hardcore supporters were inconsequential in 08' then. I'm not sure how it's even relevant considering the fact Obama won. Did you vote for McCain?


Okay but again Trump got into office and then after him the country was supposed to turn into Sweden. So what went wrong?

No, I bought into that idea that Obama was actually going to change things. :francis:

Sweden? Are you smoking sherm? Go get clean. There's programs available for people with these problems. :camby:

He did change things. For someone as privileged as you are it wasn't enough. You didn't get your piece of the pie. Maybe things will never get done as quickly or as well you would personally like. Have you ever considered that?

Trump was supposed to be the wakeup call the country needed to pivot hard to the left? I'm not imagining this talking point.

i don't disagree with this... she most definitely should have campaigned harder and not taken the election for granted... there were still many who were blinded to just how consequential it was to give a scotus that was already right-leaning an even greater right leaning advantage.. even after trump won and appointed gorsuch to the scotus there were many saying 'so what, whoopty doo'... the failure of defeating trump will have consequences for the left for decades to come... the stench of trump will not be wiped away easily....

He already did. But there are limits to what a President can do via EO. No president can unilaterally create laws. That's a legislative function.

But the DOJ is suing states that violate the clauses and constitutional amendments that still exist.

But this is what motherfukkers get for purity-testing Hillary to death in 2016.

The fact that Biden, the DOJ and the Democratic party aren't doing everything to hold Trump and Co accountable while doing everything in their power to protect voting rights says it all. Their inaction is just as bad as Republicans actions. There's going to be blood in the streets when this all said and done. Democrats don't care if the wolf is in the chicken coop. Until that wolf comes for them. Then it's too late. America needed people that were going to fight for democracy. Instead, it got people who's meekness will lead to it's destruction

Watch breyer die before he leaves the court and then Republicans stall out Biden for another SCOTUS seat. So long as Republicans see there's no accountability for whatever they do, they'll keep doing it.

Is this one of those situations where Trump's presidency has set certain things back by decades and without a country defining flashpoint, minorities in the USA are at a disadvantage when it comes to voting?


If that's the case, would it not be more feasible to work on an infrastructure to beat the conservatives at their own game( make sure black people get the right IDs, and the can be taken to other polling stations when the cacs shut down ones close to them) than spending money trying to change the outcome?

Just wondering.

Just because voting may be "inconvenient for some," Alito wrote, doesn't mean that access to voting is unequal.

so instead of making voting convenient when it is "inconvenient" alito decides to make it even more "inconvenient"...alito is a dumbass...
