Why do Democrats value the American experiment so little?


Biden Claims No Option Suspend Filibuster | National Review  . . ."While Republicans have decried Democrats’ voting legislation as a federal takeover of elections procedures, Biden compared opponents of the legislation to southern segregationists.
“ 'Do you want to be on the side of Dr. King or George Wallace?” Biden said. “This is the moment to decide, to defend our elections, to defend our democracy.' ”. . .

Clyburn
Top Democrat Calls for Feds to Seize Control of Elections: States 'Cannot' Be Trusted | Neon Nettle   "One of the most powerful members of the Democratic Party is calling on Joe Biden's federal government to seize control of America's elections.
"Rep. James Clyburn (D-SC), the number three Democrat in the House of Representatives, issued a warning that states "cannot" and "should not" be trusted to run their own elections.
"House Majority Whip Clyburn invoked Founding Father Alexander Hamilton in demanding a more robust federal role in elections.
"Clyburn echoed Hamilton by insisting that presidential elections “should not be left up to the states.' ”. . .

Why are not more people sick of seeing the scowling faces of angry Democrats? TD

Don Surber: Filibuster splits Democrats   "A civil war is taking place. It is Democrats versus Democrats. The party senses doom in the midterms.

"Democrats hold the House now and have only half of the Senate. They must rely on the Mattress Girl vice president to cast any tie-breaking vote.

"This has divided Democrats into two camps. 

"You have heard of the blue dog Democrats and the yellow dog Democrats. Today, Pelosi leads the rabid dog Democrats who want to get everything they can get now, no matter what damage it does to Congress and the Constitution.

"They are secure in the knowledge that Republicans cannot undo the damage for at least 3 -- maybe 7 -- years. FDR, LBJ and Obama knew they could pass laws that Republicans refused to repeal when they took over Congress and the White House." , , ,
