Progressive Democrats are stewing after one of their top priorities, a massive elections bill, stalled in the Senate Tuesday – and they're directing their ire at several targets, including Republicans, the Senate filibuster and even President Biden, who they allege didn't do enough to stump for the legislation.

"He's not absent, but he needs to be a lot more vocal and a lot more out front. The president supports H.R.1, the American people support H.R. 1 overwhelmingly. The president needs to lead out front and be very vocal on this issue." Rep. Jamaal Bowman, D-N.Y., told CNN Tuesday of the president's involvement on election reform.

“the American people support H.R. 1 overwhelmingly.”

Maybe those living in West L.A., Hollyweird and other leftist enclaves but not the overwhelming majority of Americans.

By filibuster they mean 50% of the senate voted against it.

I’m sure this bill is an obsession for some leftist idiots, but for the Dim leadership, it’s just a game:

Heh, if it passes, they become a permanent majority... but if not, they’ve got an issue to run on when ‘22 and ‘24 state election reforms reduce minority “turnout”, aka, eliminating ballot harvesting and some of the other outright cheating.

Don’t worry, it will reappear the night before Republicans somehow thwart the fraud margin and become majority again

It is not so much the Republicans using the filibuster to block the bill as Democrat hubris in pushing a bill that didn’t get any bipartisan support.

I worry we have too many RINOS and they will cave.

The American people don’t have a clue what H.B.1 entails. They just lap up the sludge poured out to them by the media. Most likely believe in majority rule and votes by everyone.
