@edgarblythe,
My first reaction was to wonder why this was in the Chauvin thread and not the Biden one. But so it goes...
Sean King (and people who tend to adhere to whatever comes out of his mouth) is very often needlessly and uselessly antagonistic and provocative. Needless. Useless.
Think not? Well then kindly flesh out Sean King’s breathless accusation of Biden for not “fighting hard enough”.
What
precisely could Biden have done? If all 50 Democratic senators were with him, and all the Republican senators are under Mitch McConnells thrall, what actions do you think Biden should take to get voting rights passed? Invite McConnell to tea? Maybe to a boxing match? Rant and rave on every channel and medium about why voting rights is good, and opposing it is bad? What?
There is
one thing about which I
would jump on the bandwagon with King and other left wing loudmouths. That is, Biden and all the democrats need to nuke the damn filibuster. All the arguments for keeping it seem to me tantamount to saying “We’d better not use our power to get what we want, because when the republicans get back in power we’ll be sorry!” I think that’s stupid and cowardly. But that’s for another time.
