Two things:

1) The DemonCraps want to turn the Senate into a longer-election-term House.

2) If they had the votes, none of this theater would be happening. The DemonCraps ain’t got s**t.

The vast majority of Americans support voter ID laws (Blacks more so than Whites). No one wants the Dems to federalize the elections and the push exists solely to stop the entire democratic party from getting curb stomped during the mid-terms

They would use [the filibuster] again, if they ever accidentally lose.

Additionally, they'd say it's not working for democracy, if we complained.

But Twitter and Faceboook would remove those complaints, anyways.

That would be an hilarious South Park episode.

Stevie Wonder comes to town for a concert, his makeup people have Covid, so it turns out he’s white and doesn’t know it and now everyone else knows but the town is so Woke that they don’t know what to do or say.

One of the PC Babies head might explode.

Another ignoramus who, even though he has lived in a federal republic his entire life, bleats on about his ‘democracy’. Dumbass.
