Forget about Georgia, Joe - why not fix the broken
voting system in your own home state?
President Joe Biden on Thursday conceded he doesn't know how voting rights legislation will be passed without Senators Kyrsten Sinema and Joe Manchin on board but vowed 'as long as I have breath in me' he will fight. 'I don't know that we can get it done but I know one thing, as long as I have a breath in me, as long as I'm in the White House, as long as I'm engaged at all - I'm going to be fighting,' he said. 'We missed this time,' Biden said after he spent a little over an hour meeting with Senate Democrats.
'We missed this time, and the state legislative bodies continue to change the law, it's not about who can vote, but who gets to count the vote.' His voice grew louder as he repeated his phrase: 'Count the vote. Count the vote. It's about election subversion, not just whether or not people get to vote. Biden made the personal appearance to lobby Democrats on voting rights legislation but his plea may come in vain after Simena made it clear she will not support his call to kill the filibuster. 'It is clear that the two parties strategies are not working, not for either side and especially not for the country,' Sinema said in a 19-minute speech on the Senate floor.
Her decision essentially killed Democratic efforts to pass voting legislation - despite a procedural gamble from Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the heavy lobbying from Biden and an impassioned plea from Barack Obama.
If Joe Bideen actually said "It's not who gets to vote but it's who gets to count the votes" he should be IMPEACHED on the spot
ReplyDeleteThe "who gets to count the vote" is lifted from Joe Stalin's speech book. I am shocked that the head nut democrat - or at least the straw man for whoever is actually in charge - would admit to such subterfuge.
