Manchin simply asserts that the bill is partisan simply because Republicans refuse to support it.

I understand the (malevolent) reasons Manchin is how he is but it’s a level of self interest that is incomprehensible to me. You get to stay a rich rat king, but everyone’s watched you push the democracy further into its death spiral...congrats on your keen political maneuvering?

Congress passed the 14th and 15th Amendments, the 1866 Civil Rights and Freedman’s Bureau bills on straight party-line votes. Then as now, the parties were sharply polarized. History records that these were necessary measures. That they were not “bipartisan” is beside the point.

In light of Manchin’s recent op-ed, it seems prudent to remind everyone that he’s not going to preserve the Republic; we’re going to have to do it ourselves.

Voting might be harder in ‘22, but we have to do everything we can to expand the majority in the House and the Senate.

Martin Luther King, Jr. called the filibuster a “tragedy” used by “misguided Senators” to block “people from even voting.”
