Jim Clyburn Says Democrats Will ‘Get Around’ Filibuster To Pass Progressive Voting Expansion | The Daily Wire

There’s nothing less democratic than the Democrats’ proposals to overhaul voting in America, so it makes sense they’d work to “get around” other traditional democratic principles to pass it.

For the record, again, I am not opposed to filibuster reform. And I think it will eventually disappear. It’s really just a matter of which party eventually does it. My money is on the Democrats, but I really wouldn’t be surprised either way. I know that whenever it happens, the opposition party and media will hyperventilate about it for weeks.

However, “getting around” things bothers me.

Clyburn made the comments to “Axios on HBO,” telling the program that passing the Democrats’ desired legislation “may require some jiu-jitsu, but that’s not beyond the Senate to do that.”

“They’ll come up with some way to get around it,” Clyburn added. “We had better come up with some way to get around it, because this democracy is teetering on collapse.”

He doesn’t get the irony of his statement. Democracy is teetering on collapse, and yet we have to “get around” the rules in the Senate to “fix” it.

And There’s a Reason Why Articles Like This Are on ”CyberScoop” and Not The New York Times

A former top US election official urges sweeping security improvements, warning 'democracy is in trouble' – CyberScoop

And not because it’s a lunatic conspiracy theory. It’s because the NYT wants to bury any talk of even potential election fraud. The only thing they want to talk about related to elections and voting is Republican “voter suppression” efforts. Yes, Republicans to want to suppress votes. They don’t want dead people to vote. They don’t want people from out of state to vote. They don’t want people to vote in multiple districts. And they don’t want people to vote twice in the same district. And they don’t want computers tinkering with the results, creating votes out of nothing or changing ballots.

To the Democrats, this is ‘voter suppression”. To Republicans this is “election integrity”.

You choose which side you want to be on. Only one side is for freedom and fair elections, though.

I Think This Goes Without Saying

If vax passports are OK, then so is requiring voter ID (nypost.com)

Well, duh. How could you possibly argue otherwise with a straight face?

Amusingly enough, liberals, the people most likely to support vaccine passports, have long made contradictory arguments. For years, we have heard Democrats insist that asking voters to present identification is a fundamental violation of civil rights, tantamount to Jim Crow.

That is truth.

Most of the rest of the article is about how evil vaccine mandates are. I don’t know that I disagree. However, I also know that there’s been at least 10,000 articles written about this, and I doubt that one single person’s mind has been changed. One more article isn’t suddenly going to change thigns.
