3 lies
The vote in the Senate to change the filibuster into a talking filibuster, just only temporarily for a vote on a voting rights bill ... it failed.
Lie # 1 .... the idea that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema are "moderate" Democrats. They are conservatives.
Lie # 2 ... the idea that there are a lot of Democrats in the Senate who want to preserve the filibuster. This vote that just took place shows that there are only two Democrats who feel this way.
Lie # 3 ... the idea that Joe Manchin and Kyrsten Sinema really want to vote for the voting rights bill, but they can't because it would require changing the filibuster. Actually, those two Senators have many times dismissed the filibuster in order to accomplish their agendas. The truth is that these two Senators do not want to pass the voting rights bill.
We have to stop lying to ourselves about these two Senators, turning ourselves into pretzels to find a way to let them off the hook. They have to be voted out - that's the only way to get those two votes we need.

Yeah, I don't know why they're still Democrats. Truth to tell, we need more parties than just the Ds and the Rs. Especially the Republican party has outlived any philosophy or meaning other than retaining power.
I guess there are other parties but they don't have enough voters to be competitive. Maybe former Republicans can rebuild a better R party.
