We have 18 months until midterm elections will decide the fate of the Democrat majorities. Focusing on piecemeal legislation is too slow, and likely to fail. I’m not suggesting that we give up, but rather focus on a practical response as demonstrated by Stacy Abrams and her success in Georgia. We need to beat the Republicans at their own game. The obstacles they are erecting are just that - obstacles. They are not barriers. People who are disenfranchised temporarily are still ELIGIBLE to vote. We need local, grassroots organizations to monitor voter registrations and make sure everyone who is eligible is registered and has everything they need (ID, transportation, bottled water, an absentee ballot, whatever it takes) to exercise their voting rights. Voters need to send a clear message to the Republicans that their time has PASSED.

Getting caught with a corporate hand in the cookie jar requires no response from them. Their Silence is deafening. And on they go , saying one thing and doing another.

2022 looms large. The Dems have no stones. They need to get down and fight this on a Federal level while they can. They need to quit pussyfootin' around or the results are going to be devasting.

Joe Manchin OMG has so much power over this.

Good report. May it be spread far and wide.
