If there is no formula by which Democrats can pass any significant voting rights, what then? Well, Democrats could always go out and win big in 2022, increasing their margins in the Senate and House. — PolitiTweet.org

First, induce Manchin behind closed doors to put forward a bill he would favor. Rep. James Clyburn (D-S.C.) made the argument succinctly https://t.co/Xn6V48CxcY — PolitiTweet.org

Ds can holler and threaten all they like, but it will likely be ineffective, if not counterproductive. I have yet to see public shaming result in a major shift on policy. That leaves Ds with two basic strategies, which are not mutually exclusive. https://t.co/Xn6V48CxcY — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

hollering at Manchin for refusing to defend voting rights is not going to accomplish much. Democrats should understand why and consider what to do about it. https://t.co/Xn6V48CxcY — PolitiTweet.org

Republicans might be handing Democrats the most potent message out there: Republicans are for big corporations that don’t pay taxes, while Democrats are for the little guy. https://t.co/BGzcuR7847 — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Democrats would do well to contrast a party that is interested in producing results with one interested in wrecking the system. Democrats want to pass bills; Republicans want to go on right-wing media and whine about Facebook. https://t.co/BGzcuR7847 — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Democrats need to go on offense. For goodness’ sake, many Republican members abetted a violent insurrection by propagating the “big lie” and seeking to invalidate the election. If that is not “radical,” “dangerous” and “extreme,” nothing is. https://t.co/BGzcuR7847 — PolitiTweet.org

@WalshFreedom Conceding to rightwing disinformation is a mistake. The administration has explained this multiple times. — PolitiTweet.org

@EricBoehlert she is in charge of negotiating with the Northern Triangle countries. period. this is willful ignorance by the media and by the right — PolitiTweet.org

@WalshFreedom she is NOT in charge of the border. she is in charge of negotiating with Northern Triangle countries to get at the root causes of the problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Finally, Congress should pass Sen. Ron Wyden’s (D-Ore.) bill introduced last year (shortly to be re-introduced) requiring that the wait time for voting in person not exceed 30 minutes. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Fourth, in addition to putting Manchin to the test of finding 10 Republicans to break the filibuster on H.R. 4, known as the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act, Democrats are going to need to be strategic on voting reform. Come up with a short list. — PolitiTweet.org

Third, a group of Democrats and Republicans could collaborate on proposed revisions to the Electoral Count Act of 1877 to remove the potential for any future House of Representatives to overturn the results of the electoral college. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Second, Congress should allocate substantial funds to ensure the smooth operation of elections, purchase reliable machines and hire trained election personnel. — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

First, as the Justice Department’s website affirms, “the Voting Rights Act permits federal observers to monitor procedures in polling places and at sites where ballots are counted in eligible political subdivisions.” https://t.co/kBDUjSi9jg — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

There is another way to save democracy: Keep D's in House majority and elect more D senators in 2022 to come up with a majority to reform the filibuster. Just saying... Win. Elections. — PolitiTweet.org

The temptation is to applaud “good” Republicans who speak out against the Jan. 6 riot and criticize Trump. But without the determination to condemn and work to defeat Republicans their moral passivity = “great stumbling block” https://t.co/KKH1kpv46A — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Condi Rice excels creating a false equivalence between Ds and Rs, seizing on some neutral miasma of “mistrust” as the source of our problems. What explains such moral cowardice? Does she need the goodwill of right-wing donors to the Hoover Institution? https://t.co/KKH1kpv46A — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Any other likely GOP speaker would be no more likely to defy Trump or defend 2024 election results that went against their party. Cheney’s promotion of any GOP House candidate therefore moves the nation closer to the threat of another insurrection. https://t.co/KKH1kpv46A — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

Republicans who are well aware of the toxicity of the MAGA cult refuse to work to defeat the GOP that is the host for the cult are not defending democracy https://t.co/KKH1kpv46A — PolitiTweet.org

Jennifer "Pro-privacy" Rubin @JRubinBlogger

reminded of MLK: "I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the ..great stumbling block ...toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to 'order' than to justice" https://t.co/KKH1kpv46A — PolitiTweet.org
