It was reported earlier today by TreningPolitics that as 2022 approaches, Democrats are privately and publicly expressing their frustration with two of their U.S. Senators who continue to back crucial legislation from passing.
Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (D-AZ) recently wrecked President Biden’s hopes of destroying federal election integrity laws by not supporting HR1 or ending the Senate filibuster. Senator Joe Manchin (D-WV) just crushed Biden’s hope of getting his Build Back Better (BBB) massive spending bill passed.
Biden has been pushing to radically federalize elections, in spite of the Constitution.
“If we can get the congressional voting rights done, we should do it. … There’s nothing domestically more important than voting rights,” said Biden.
Sinema has also singlehandedly burst Biden’s desperate attempt to weaken election integrity laws by stating she will protect the 60-vote filibuster threshold.
Fifty Senate votes are needed to trash the filibuster. If the filibuster is terminated, a simple majority vote could be held to destroy election laws.
“She continues to support the Senate’s 60-vote threshold, to protect the country from repeated radical reversals in federal policy which would cement uncertainty, deepen divisions, and further erode Americans’ confidence in our government,” LaBombard said.
In an attempt to win over Sinema, Democrats watered down their original H.R.1 proposal. Yet Sinema’s spokesman John LaBombard told Politico she will protect the filibuster’s bipartisan standard and ultimately election integrity.
“I don’t want to become too dramatic,” Rep. Emanuel Cleaver (D-MO) told Politico, “but voting rights may be the only thing we have to at least halt the trek away from democracy.”
Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC) also voiced concerns that if election integrity laws are reinstated before the 2022 midterms, America’s democratic republic will no longer exist.
“I don’t want it to be constrained by trying to do it before the end of the year. I don’t know that you have to do it before the end of the year,” Clyburn told Politico. “I just want us to get a bill done that will help preserve this democracy because if we don’t, I think we’ve lost this democracy.”
When did Democrats become the “Protectors of Democracy?” There are two problems with Democrats. 1) they are encouraged when the press and citizens refer to their party as the “Democratic Party.” For 2022 my pledge is to refer to Democrats as the “Democrat” party because there is nothing “Democratic” about it. 2) Democracy is not lost because one party says so. Democracy works when the majority rules. And in the case of Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema, along with 50 Republicans, Democracy has worked exactly the way its supposed to work. Just because it’s not what Democrats want doesn’t mean Democracy failed. So the next time things do not go the way Democrats want, they need to suck it up and remember how real Democracy works so they don’t look like a bunch of immature whimps.
