tells us that he is at least feeling a bit pressure to do the right thing...I mean, he WON'T do the right thing and we don't have to respect him or his lame ass decision.

Manchin and Sinema will vote for voting rights if it gets a vote. We need to win this November, and run on democracy.

Who does NOT represent his constituents or Americans. I'm not interested in anything he has to say.

I read that the only Republicans who showed to debate the voting rights bills only came to listen to Manchin.

Unbelievable the DNC, DSCC, Emily's list and any other dem orgs would waste money on him and Sinema. They need to be stripped of their committee memberships too. Dems need to start enforcing some boundaries on their members. Republicans march in lockstep. Dems don't need to be that mindless but they need some new rules for party members. Like YOU WILL SUPPORT VOTING RIGHTS. Period. No excuses. No filibuster crap.

is the leader of our nation. I might not agree with all that he does or says but the alternative is disgusting. I shiver to think that we elect anyone in the GOP going forward. They do not represent any of my ideals and I think are destroying our nation.
