In the House-passed BBB bill, is there anything dealing with voting? (Original Post) Stinky The Clown Nov 2021 OP
I think that's right. Don't think voting would pass muster in the Tomconroy Nov 2021 #1
IDK, but I think McConnell nailed it when he said the BBB bill would be written by Manchin & Sinema. CrispyQ Nov 2021 #2

It's just unbelievable that two people who represent so few people can have so much influence. There are a lot of flaws in our system that I doubt will ever be addressed.

The 16 elections hurt us very badly and we have basically a canyon to climb out of in terms of the courts and other things Trump did...and of course, electing Trump was a death sentence for thousands of Americans. It is going to be hard. But I believe we can do it. It is going to take time...progress will be slower than we want but it can still happen if we stick together. We have not won enough hearts and minds in areas we need electorally. And that has to happen.
