Schumer warns that the Senate will vote on changes to the chamber’s rules by Jan. 17 unless Republicans get out of the way on elections reform

[BWK]

You cannot vote?

I can, but 400 voter suppression bills will keep many minorities from voting. Poll closings in minority areas will also keep them from voting.

 

[BWK]

STFU, retard.

Correct, but you can climb a tree and be.

It's a bitch when you ain't shit, like yourself.

 

[Orangecat]

It's a bitch when you ain't shit, like yourself.

It's more of a bitch when you are a piece of shit, like you.

Voter id? You talking about Georgia? You know Vermont, Biden's country have stricter voting laws?

 

[OKTexas]

400 voter suppression bills caused this. And that's on Republicans.

.

 

[Kondor3]

How are 400 Republican voter suppression bills fair?

1. no voter is being suppressed here; merely now obliged to show-up in-person or jump thru additional hoops to get an absentee or mail-in ballot

2. voter "reform" in various states has zero bearing upon whether or not US Senate procedures and tradition should be changed for all time

 

[OKTexas]

Because of 400 voter suppression bills that disenfranchise minorities.

Wow, you really are a racist. Why do you keep saying minorities can't follow the same rules as everyone else? Do you think they are stupid?

.

 

[OKTexas]

There's reason smucky chose Jan 17th for his naked power grab. It's MLK day and you can bet he'll be calling anyone not supporting it a racist. Division is how the commies roll.

I don't trust the goddamned Democrats any more than I trust the goddamned Republicans... both sides are jam-packed with hyper-partisan whiny bitches.

And the Dems are as wrong-as-wrong-can-be, about this... just like they're dead-wrong when it comes to reconfiguring SCOTUS...

If they actually go through with this then they will have lost me for 2022... maybe for 2024 as well... depends on who the Pubs run...

Oh brother---what nonsense.

 

[westwall]

it's about time my friends

Schumer tries to jump-start Dems with rules change threat

The majority leader said they would debate changes to the Senate's rules unless Republicans allow a vote on elections reform.

Fuck you, fascist swine.

 

[Claudette]

Any changes those idiots try to make will come back and bite them in the ass.

Should be interesting. LOL

 

[iceberg]

What's that got to do with the right to vote? And why is he an ass? For fighting for the right to vote?

oh give me a break. this is a other bullshit lie from the team of professional liars

 

[iceberg]

I can, but 400 voter suppression bills will keep many minorities from voting. Poll closings in minority areas will also keep them from voting.

how?

 

[daveman]

How exactly? What is fair about 400 voter suppression bills?

They don't suppress any votes.

 

[daveman]

Well duh! If your state election officials can decide the election results, based on who they want elected, versus a majority vote count, what's the point of an election?

The Democrat bill wants the Democrat Party to decide the election results based on who they want elected. Votes don't matter at all.

 

[daveman]

How exactly? What is fair about 400 voter suppression bills?

I see you were handed your new talking point.

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) asserted Monday that he will force a vote on a measure to change the upper chamber’s rules by Jan. 17 in order to pass a sweeping election reform bill — a gambit that is certain to fail due to opposition by moderate Sens. Joe Manchin (D-WV) and Kyrsten Sinema (D-Ariz.) to making such changes along party lines.

Schumer vows doomed Senate filibuster rule change vote by MLK Day

The letter marked Schumer’s strongest call to change the 60-vote legislative filibuster rule despite some reservations within the party.

Flashback: Schumer Called Eliminating Filibuster ‘A Doomsday for Democracy’

Comment:
Back in 2005 Schumer said that abolishing the filibuster would be a "doomsday for democracy"
Soooooo, now we can safely say that Chuck Schumer wants to end America's democracy so that he can ban Voter ID laws and ban Poll Watcher laws and require nation-wide mail-in ballots and bunch of other toxic crap that is in the HR1 bill.

 

[Nostra]

Are you for all these 400 voter suppression bills?

Give me the names of anyone who had their vote "suppressed".

One year ago this week, we experienced great sorrow: mere hours after the dawn of a new
Congress and a new Majority, our beloved Capitol was attacked. It was attacked in a naked
attempt to derail our Republic’s most sacred tradition: the peaceful transfer of power. Domestic
violent extremists sought to inflict chaos and violence. Fueled by conspiracy and the ravings of a
vengeful former President, they sought to destroy our Republic.
Our democracy held – for now.
As we all are witnessing, the attacks on our democracy have not ceased. In fact, they have only
accelerated. Much like the violent insurrectionists who stormed the US Capitol nearly one year
ago, Republican officials in states across the country have seized on the former president’s Big
Lie about widespread voter fraud to enact anti-democratic legislation and seize control of
typically non-partisan election administration functions. While these actions all proceed under
the guise of so-called “election integrity”, the true aim couldn’t be more clear. They want to
unwind the progress of our Union, restrict access to the ballot, silence the voices of millions of
voters, and undermine free and fair elections. They wish to propagate the Big Lie perpetuated by
the former president that our elections are not on the level.
Make no mistake about it: this week Senate Democrats will make clear that what happened on
January 6th and the one-sided, partisan actions being taken by Republican-led state legislatures
across the country are directly linked, and we can and must take strong action to stop this antidemocratic march. Specifically, as we honor the brave Capitol police officers who defended us
from those motivated by the Big Lie who tried to undo a fair and free election, Senate Democrats
will continue to make the case for passing voting rights legislation to counter the Republican
voter suppression and election nullification laws with the same anti-democratic motives born out
of the Big Lie.
Let me be clear: January 6th was a symptom of a broader illness - an effort to delegitimize our
election process, and the Senate must advance systemic democracy reforms to repair our republic
or else the events of that day will not be an aberration – they will be the new norm. Given the
urgency of the situation and imminence of the votes, we as Senate Democrats must urge the
public in a variety of different ways to impress upon their Senators the importance of acting and
reforming the Senate rules, if that becomes a perquisite for action to save our democracy.

We must ask ourselves: if the right to vote is the cornerstone of our democracy, then how can we
in good conscience allow for a situation in which the Republican Party can debate and pass voter
suppression laws at the State level with only a simple majority vote, but not allow the United
States Senate to do the same?
We must adapt. The Senate must evolve, like it has many times before. The Senate was designed
to evolve and has evolved many times in our history. As former Senator Robert Byrd famously
said, Senate Rules “must be changed to reflect changed circumstances.” Put more plainly by
Senator Byrd, “Congress is not obliged to be bound by the dead hand of the past.”
The fight for the ballot is as old as the Republic. Over the coming weeks, the Senate will once
again consider how to perfect this union and confront the historic challenges facing our
democracy. We hope our Republican colleagues change course and work with us. But if they do
not, the Senate will debate and consider changes to Senate rules on or before January 17, Martin
Luther King Jr. Day, to protect the foundation of our democracy: free and fair elections

A drunk loon tard with a fire extinguisher is not an attack on The Capital or our Democracy. If our Capital or Democracy is that weak, then BLM would have taken over the whole country by now instead of burning down their own neighborhoods and destroying black owned businesses in their own back yards.

It's much easier to attack our Democracy using say OSHA and their "Emergency Temporary Standard" which apparently and magically can supersede HIPPA, EEOC, and Civil Rights Laws. Much easier to use a scamdemic to illegally alter Election Law to facilitate ballot dumping.
Much easier to use algorhitms on "Maduro" voting machines to steal fractional votes from one candidate and add them to another candidate's total.

Manchin is the wall that the democrats keep smashing into.

Joe Manchin already said he will not vote to eliminate the filibuster.
