Democrats Fail Again On Voting Rights Bill Thanks To Republican Filibuster
Democrats in the Senate were once again unable to break a Republican filibuster on the John Lewis Voting Rights bill, making this the fourth time that Republicans have prevailed on the issue. As long as the filibuster exists, it is going to be used to block necessary legislation that would actually help the American public. The Democrats have to get serious about destroying it before the public loses all faith in them. Ring of Fire's Farron Cousins discusses this.

Yesterday Republicans in the Senate, once again, filibustered the John Lewis advancement of voting rights act, which means, once again, the legislation has to go back. Nothing can move forward. Chuck Schumer of course flipped his vote again to not break the filibuster so that he could bring it up again. As I've said, I'm not even sure how or why that works that way, but whatever it is, sure, filibuster stays in place. Voting rights do not get expanded here in the United States and Democrats suffer their fourth loss on this one issue. This is the fourth time they have tried to break the filibuster for this voting rights act and it's the fourth time they have failed. And sure, it's the Republicans doing the filibustering. That's still a Democratic failure and we all know why. With the way the Senate is split 50 50, you know, Democrats have the majority, even though they don't actually have a majority, they can't get anything done.

They can't break a filibuster. They can't even get members of their own party to, you know, vote on their own legislation. But this was a piece of legislation, the voting rights act, where the Democrats were pretty much universally in line.
